This coupling is dominated by active processes such as suspension-feeding in which the organism actively uses energy to pump water that is then filtered to remove suspended particles that are consumed while undigested remains are deposited on the bottom. As a result of this feeding on and metabolism of particles, the animals excrete dissolved inorganic and organic waste back into the water column, and thus, become major components in the cycling and feedback of essential elements. With relatively high weight specific filtration rates of 1— 10 liters/hour/gram dry tissue and a propensity to form large aggregated populations (beds, reefs, schools and swarms), these organisms can play an important role in regulating water column processes..Although estuarine bivalve molluscs such as oysters and mussels dominate the suspension-feeder literature, other groups including plankton and nekton that are found in estuarine as well as other aquatic systems are also potentially important removers of suspended particles. Thus, a significant part of the NATO Advanced Research Wor | | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 2005 | | 关键词 | aquaculture; ecosystem; ecosystems; environment; nutrient cycling; phytoplankton; plankton; reefs | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-3030-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4020-3029-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-3030-7Series ISSN 1568-1238 | | issn_series | 1568-1238 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2005 |
