For Macoma balthica, fecal pellets were collected every 1 h for the first 36 h of cold feeding Sub- sequently, pellets were collected every 12 h for up to 7 d. The number of pellets produced at each interval was noted. The bead concentration at the start of the feeding experiments were 1521 k 385 (n = 3) beads ml-l.

Macoma balthica (L.) is a common clam of the estuarine seafloor, belonging to an important group of invertebrates possessing the capacity to choose between the two fundamental modes of feeding available, using its siphon to inhale either suspended food particles from the water or food particles deposited on the sediment surface.

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. The feeding radius of M. balthica and S. plana is a linear function of shell size. 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. Behavior has a predictive power that is often underutilized as a tool for signaling ecological change. The burrowing behavior of the deposit feeding bivalve Macoma balthica reflects a typical food-safety trade-off. The choice to live close to the sediment surface comes at a risk of predation and is a decision made when predation danger, food intake rates or future fitness prospects are low.

Tellina sp.) have lateral hinge teeth (at least in the right valve); Macoma do not. Macoma are generally more rounded and more inflated than Tellina; Macoma are smooth The feeding radius of M. balthica and S. plana is a linear function of shell size.

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes were used to trace changes in diet of the tellinid bivalves M. balthica (facultative deposit feeder) and C. edule (obligatory suspension feeder), according to their size class. For Macoma balthica, fecal pellets were collected every 1 h for the first 36 h of cold feeding Sub- sequently, pellets were collected every 12 h for up to 7 d.

Macoma balthica is tha most significant producer of copious amounts of resistant fecal pellets in the muddy intertidal ·areas. Macoma balthica is not normally considered to be toxic but may transfer toxicants through the food chain to predators.

Under conditions of identical concentrations of suspended particulates in the water column and organic contents of surface sediments, Macoma exhibited much higher levels of deposit feeding where currents were slower. Effects of suspended food availability on the feeding mode and burial depth of the Baltic clam, Macoma balthica Junda Lin and Anson H. Hines Lin, J and Hines, A. H. 1994. Effects of suspended food availability on the feeding mode and burial depth of the Baltic clam, Macoma balthica. - Oikos 69: 28-36. AB - In this paper an analysis is made of subtle behavioural differences between adult male and female Ovstercatchers feeding on Macoma balthica under field conditions and in captivity. Macoma is a tellinid bivalve that in the Dutch Wadden Sea is mainly preyed upon during spring and summer when it is buried at a shallow depth. males lift Macoma more, whereas females handle them mostly in situ.
