Grazing impact of Mytilus edulis L. and Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas) in the Gulf of Riga, Baltic Sea estimated from biodeposition rates of algal pigments

Grazing rates of Mytilus edulis and Dreissena polymorpha were estimated in the Gulf of Riga in May and July 1996. The faecal material was quantified using chlorophyll a (Chl a) as tracer for planktonic algae. Faeces production rate of M. edulis (shell length: 20 mm) ranged from 0.02 to 0.40 μg Chl a...
