(19) Among laboratory-infected isopods, 2 mechanisms that could regulate the larval parasite population were detected: intraspecific competition and direct, parasite-induced isopod mortality.
(20) Growth of the isopods was not affected by Cd or by the combination of Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cu, but differed between the test systems.
