Particle capture mechanisms in suspension-feeding invertebrates
A large number of suspension-feeding aquatic animals (e.g. bivalves, polychaetes, ascidians, bryozoans, crustaceans, sponges, echinoderms, cnidarians) have specialized in grazing on not only the 2 to 200 μm phytoplankton but frequently also the 0.5 to 2 μm free-living bacteria, or they have specialized in capturing larger prey, e.g. zooplankton organisms. We review the different particle captur...
متن کاملRole of particle wettability in capture by a suspension - feeding crab ( Emerita talpoida )
Role of particle wettability in capture by a suspension-feeding crab (Emerita talpoida) Abstract Suspension feeders sometimes depend on adhesion between particle and collector to capture food. If food particles have dierent adhesive properties than other particles, food could be passively selected by adhesive mechanisms. In this regard, the eect of particle wettability on adhesion to arti®cia...
متن کاملMechanisms and feasibility of prey capture in ambush-feeding zooplankton.
Many marine zooplankters, particularly among copepods, are "ambush feeders" that passively wait for their prey and capture them by fast surprise attacks. This strategy must be very demanding in terms of muscle power and sensing capabilities, but the detailed mechanisms of the attacks are unknown. Using high-speed video we describe how copepods perform spectacular attacks by precision maneuverin...
متن کاملParticle capture and processing mechanisms in Sabellaria alveolata (Polychaeta: Sabellariidae)
Sabellaria alveolata, a ciliary suspension feeder, is a reef-building polychaete widely distributed in European waters, and is an important element of the trophic web of the ecosystems they have colonised. The lack of data concerning the feeding mechanisms of polychaete sabellariids is an impediment to understanding their roles in these systems. In this study, we combine a descriptive approach ...
متن کاملComputational Fluid Dynamics of Crossflow Filtration in Suspension-Feeding Fishes Keywords: Crossflow filtration, Suspension feeding
Suspension-feeding fishes such as herring and anchovies engulf particle-concentrated water through their mouths and release the water through the posterior oral cavity. Food particles are separated from the water at the gill rakers that act like modern crossflow filters. This paper uses Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) techniques to study the feeding mechanism of these suspension feeders. By u...
