The effect of concentration of suspension and inert material on the assimilation of algae by three bivalves

Assimilation efficiencies reported for bivalves vary, but different experimental conditions, in particular the concentration of the suspension at which the animals are fed, may affect the values found. Widdows & Bayne (1971) determined the assimilation efficiency for Mytilus edulis when fed Tetr...
