RESUMEN
The elemental chemical composition of Scolelepis fuliginosa was comparatively with specimens reared in laboratory and from a natural population. The carbon-nitrogen ratio variations show a certain homogeneity of composition in juveniles and young sexed and a sexual dimorphism in adults. C/N ratio of the laboratory specimens is not significantly different from that of the ones from natural surroundings. But, when these are kept several weeks in captivity, this ratio considerably decreases.

Electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel of total proteins and esterases of the Copepod Anomalocera patersoni shows the existence of intraspecific variability. Some of these variations represent sexual differences which are an expression of a biochemical sexual dimorphism.
