A SEMI-CLOSED RECIRCULATING SYSTEM FOR THE IN SITU STUDY OF FEEDING AND RESPIRATION OF BENTHIC SUSPENSION FEEDERS

A semi-closed recirculating system for the in situ study of feeding and respiration of benthic suspension feeders

Suspension feeding is one of the most widespread feeding strategies among benthic organisms.However, natural feeding ecology and energetics of benthic suspension feeders are poorly known.The scarcity of field methods, apparatus and protocols that facilitate obtention of reliable in situ data has contributed to this lack of knowledge.A detailed desc
