This review deals with the measurement of filtration rates in suspension feeding bivalves.
Currently used methods are described, and some reliable filtration rate data obtained under …

Bivalves, such as clams and oysters, are species having two-valved shells. In the marine
ecosystem these species play a unique and essential role. This book examines the ecology …

The concentration and composition of suspended particulate food available to estuarine
suspension-feeding bivalve molluscs varies temporarily and spatially. Non-algal food …

Ecological interactions may vary geographically as a function of diversity, density, or per
capita interaction strengths, but we know little about the relative importance of these three …
