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.

In the course of the summer an increasing mortality occurred OSTI.GOV Conference: Availability of sediment-bound cobalt, silver, and zinc to a deposit-feeding clam. [Macoma balthica] feeding species, Macoma balthica. Simulated increases in chlorophyll a and TSS resulted in corresponding increases and decreases in hard clam weight, respectively. Model structure did not allow for changes in these parameters to be examined specifically for Macoma balthica but interannual changes in individual weight showed less variation 1994-11-03 · 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.

Federal Republic of Germany 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.

Macoma balthica was implicated in the Mersey bird kill in the late 1970's, owing to bioconcentration of alklyC-lead residues (Bull et al. , 1983). 1980-01-01 · M. balthica feeds on surface deposits at low tide by sorting surface sediments in its mantle cavity. It ingests 12% (by weight) of the sediment and releases the remainder as a loose plume of pseudofeces. The ingested sediment is returned to the tidal flat surface within 3 - 6 h as compact fecal pellets.

The facultative deposit-feeding clam Macoma balthica is used as a bioindicator organism for assessing coastal metal contamination. 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. 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. Mature Macoma balthica are rarely over 25 mm long (Dunnill and Ellis 1969), but could be confused with the young of some of these larger clams. Other genera of Tellinidae (ie. Tellina sp.) have lateral hinge teeth (at least in the right valve); Macoma do not.
