Abstract
1. 1. Larval isopods of the parasitic species Probopyrus pandalicola do not consume oxygen at a rate which is a direct function of their body size. Their metabolic rate is dependent mainly on “mode of existence” as well as category of metabolism taking place for a given larval stage. 2. 2. A comparison of the mean metabolic rates between infected and uninfected copepod intermediate hosts Acartia tonsa indicates that oxygen consumption in the host decreases as a result of infection.
