Efficiency of particle retention and filtration rate in 6 species of Northeast American bivalves
Abstract
Particle retention efficiency in 6 species of suspension-feeding Northeast American bivalves was determined by simultaneous measurement of clearance of different sized particles.Geukensia dernissa, Spisula solidissirna, Brachidontes exustus, and Mercenaria rnercenana, which all possess large laterofrontal cirri, completely retained particles above 4 pm.Below this the retention efficiency gradually decreased to between 35 and 70 % for 2 kim particles.Crassostrea virginica, which has small laterofrontal cirri, and Argopecten irradians, which has none, entirely retained particles above 5 to 6 pm.Below 5 pm the retention efficiency gradually decreased to 50 '0 for 2 Iim particles in C. virginica while it sharply dropped to 15 % for 2 pm particles in A. irradians.At 27 to 29OC filtration rates (F, I h-') as a function of tissue dry weight ( W , g ) could be described by the allometric equation: F = a ~" .In C. virginica, G. dernissa and M mercenaria the equations were: 6 .? 9 ~O .' ~, 6.15 w o H 3 and 1.24 W'.'', respectively.B. exustus and S. sohdissin~a showed intermedial-y filtration rates.In G. demlssa gill area increased with sizc at the same rate as filtration rate.

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.
