Nitrogen flux in giant clams : size-dependency and relationship to zooxanthellae density and clam biomass in the uptake of dissolved inorganic nitrogen

Nitrogen flux in giant clams : size-dependency and relationship to zooxanthellae density and clam biomass in the uptake of dissolved inorganic nitrogen

A study examined nitrogen flux in the giant clam Tridacna gigas. The gradient of nitrogen sufficiency in clams is related to zooxanthellae density, and nitrogen availability limits growth.
