The effects of velocity and seston concentration on the exhalant siphon area, valve gape and filtration rate of the mussel Mytilus edulis

With the inhalant siphon facing into the flow, and with adequate seston levels, water velocity has a significant negative linear effect on mussel exhalant siphon area, but no significant effect on valve gape. Mussel filtration rates of polystyrene beads, measured by ingestion, were three times less...
