Growth Stimulation of Blow-Fly Larvae Fed on Fatigued Frog Muscle

H. MUNRO FOX 1 and G. PUGH SMITH 1

1 Zoology Department, University of Birmingham

Blow-fly larvae were fed on (1) resting, and (2) fatigued frog muscle. The larvae fed on fatigued muscle attained a body weight 9 per cent. greater than those fed on resting muscle, and the rate of their heart beat was increased by 14 per cent. The length of larval life and the oxygen consumption was the same in the two sets of larvae.
