Abstract
A non-invasive morphometric technique is presented which can be used t o predict the infection status and the proportion of infected fish wei ght contributed by parasite tissue in three-spined sticklebacks Gaster osteus aculeatus infected with plerocercoids of Schistocephalus solidu s (Cestoda: Pseudophyllidea) (C) 1997 The Fisheries Society of the Bri tish Isles.
