Potential methodological influences on the determination of particle retention efficiency by suspension feeders: Mytilus edulis and Ciona intestinalis

Abstract

ticulate matter through suspension feeding Particle clearance rate (CR), the volume of water cleared of particles of a designated size in a given time, is commonly measured using the indirect method. This method was used to measure CRs reported in 92% of the 133 peer-reviewed publications reviewed by The indirect approach is based on determining the rate of
