Efficiency of particle retention in 13 species of suspension feeding bivalves
Abstract
The retention efficiency of 13 species of suspension feeding bivalves has been determined by analysing the particle size distribution in the inhalant and exhalant water currents using a Coulter electronic particle counter. The bivalves were held in aquaria under conditions very similar to their natural environment. It is shown that 11 species, Cardium echinatum, Cardium edule, Modiolus modiolus, Mytilus edulis, Musculus niger, Cultellus pellucidus, Arctica islandica, Ostera edulis, Hiatella striata, Mya arenaria and Venerupis pullastra, which all possess eu-latero-frontal cirri completely retain particles above 1 μm. Particles down to 1 /Lm were in most cases efficiently retained. The retention efficiency in Pecten opercularis and Pecten septemradiatus both lacking the eu-latero-frontal ciliary tract decreases below 7 μm and reaches only 20 % at 1 μm.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
