Feeding activities of the clams were observed for about ten minutes at irregular intervals for 22 times during the experiment. The number of M. balthica exhibiting de-posit or suspension feeding behavior was recorded. Bu-rial depths of M. balthica were measured every three to four days until the clams' burial depth became stable.

Y1 - 1996 Feeding Macoma balthica in NIOZ aquarium The deposit-feeding behavior of Macoma balthica (L.) (Bivalvia: Tellinacea) is described relative to its role in sediment modification and the sedimentation cycle of Adams Cove, New Hampshire. Two size classes of M. balthica were selected for laboratory and field investigations of feeding behavior, sediment ingestion, sediment turnover, and Feeding activities of the clams were observed for about ten minutes at irregular intervals for 22 times during the experiment. The number of M. balthica exhibiting de­ posit or suspension feeding behavior was recorded. Bu­ rial depths ofM.

M. balthica is known to ingest Östersjömussla (Limecola balthica eller Macoma balthica) är en liten mussla som förekommer i norra Atlanten, inklusive i Nordsjön och i Östersjön. Den finns också i norra Stilla havet. Musslan blir cirka 2,5 centimeter stor och lever nergrävd i sandiga eller leriga bottnar. Dess tomma skal kan hittas uppspolade på stranden.

S. plana use half of their siphon length to feed on the surface and the other half to bury themselves, but if the siphon weight is below average, the proportion extended over the surface decreases with siphon size. both suspension- and deposit-feeding modes (Brafield & Newell 1961; Bubnova 1972).

Other genera of Tellinidae (ie. Tellina sp.) have lateral hinge teeth (at least in the right valve); Macoma do not.

Macoma balthica feeding

Macoma balthica (L.), an abundant clam, ubiquitous in temperate estuaries across the North Atlantic, is known to practice both alternative basic modes of feeding available to seafloor invertebrates. It either holds its feeding organ, the siphon, at a fixed position just above the sediment surface to filter out food particles suspended in the overlying water or else extends and moves its siphon

The density of harpacticoid copepods was lowest (P <0.05) in microcosms containing a high density of M. balthica.

2009-05-11 In the Corophium-zone about 20% of Macoma balthica present makes feeding tracks indicating they were deposit feeding; no feeding tracks are found outside the Corophium-zone. The infection rate in summer of Macoma by a gymnophallid trematode was studied. Large specimens are infected to a larger percentage than small ones. In the course of the summer an increasing mortality occurred amongst ELSEVIER Journal of Sea Research 41 (1999) 203–212 Reproductive investment in the intertidal bivalve Macoma balthica P.J.C.

The tellinid Macoma balthica moves extensively about the surface of the sand, its activities not being restricted to vertical movements as hitherto supposed. These horizontal migrations comprise a movement towards the sun followed by a movement away from it. If there is heavy cloud movements still occur, in summer at least, but are at random.

Waste and unused water are ejected through the other siphon. Predators. Macoma clams’ long siphons look like worms crawling along the bottom.

After 5 months the effects of the bivalves on the meiofauna were surprisingly small. The density of harpacticoid copepods was lowest (P <0.05) in microcosms containing a high density of M. balthica. It is suggested that competition for food resources was responsible for this pattern. Feeding activities of the clams were observed for about ten minutes at irregular intervals for 22 times during the experiment. The number of M. balthica exhibiting de-posit or suspension feeding behavior was recorded. Bu-rial depths of M. balthica were measured every three to four days until the clams' burial depth became stable.

The facultative deposit-feeding clam Macoma balthica is used as a bioindicator organism for assessing coastal metal contamination. Previous work has evaluated the assimilation of metals from different possible food sources for this clam, but no studies have measured the uptake rates of metals from different dissolved sources.
