Rainbow trout. Salmo gairdneri (Richardson), from a fish farm, were found to be infected with two cestodes, Eubothrium crassum and Proteocephalus sp. Observations are described which suggest that these parasites have no effect on fish growth or on the intestinal absorption of L‐leucine and D‐glucose.
