Particle capture mechanism of the pelagic tunicate Oikopleura vanhoefeni *
Oikopleurid appendicularians use an external “house ” to preconcentrate particles from seawater suspen-sion, but their pharyngeal filter is ultimately responsible for removing suspended particles for ingestion. Although the pharyngeal filter captures submicrometer colloids efficiently, the fluid mec...
