Abstract

Abstract Sporocysts with cercariae of Prosorhynchus squamatus Odhner, 1905 (Digenea, Bucephalidae) have been found for the first time in mussels Mytilus trossulus Gould, 1850 from the Gulf of Gdańsk (the southern Baltic Sea). The presented work provides a description and morphometry of larvae of this parasite.
