Abstract

Chromosomes of Acanthocephalus lucii (Muller, 1776) were observed using conventional staining techniques. The number of chromosomes in females and in their developing eggs (2n = 8) as well as the mean (La) and relative length (Lr) of the chromosomes and the localization of the centromere (Ic) were determined. Peculiarities in the behaviour of the chromosomes are also described.
