However, the taxonomy and life cycles of metacercariae detected in pelagic gastropods remain poorly understood. This study examined metacercaria infections in 10 species of pelagic gastropods (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 415) collected from Japanese coastal waters between 2016 and 2025.
