A non‐invasive morphometric technique is presented which can be used to predict the infection status and the proportion of infected fish weight contributed by parasite tissue in three‐spined sticklebacks Gasterosteus aculeatus infected with plerocercoids of Schistocephalus solidus (Cestoda: Pseudophyllidea)
