Abstract

The elemental chemical composition of Scolelepis fuliginosa was comparatively with specimens reared in laboratory and from a natural population. The carbon-nitrogen ratio variations show a certain homogeneity of composition in juveniles and young sexed and a sexual dimorphism in adults. C/N ratio of the laboratory specimens is not significantly different from that of the ones from natural surroundings. But, when these are kept several weeks in captivity, this ratio considerably decreases.
