Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Benthic suspennsion feeders and flow Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Wildish, David, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge university press Année de publication : 1997 Importance : XIII-409 p. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-44523-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 579 Micro-organismes, champignons, algues : classer ici les thallophytes Résumé : This book is about those animals found on the sea floor that live by filtering microscopic particles carried to them by water currents. Its purpose is to review what is known about the biology of suspension feeders in relation to their flow environment. The book includes the larval biology, physiology, ethnology, and ecology of suspension feeders interacting with water flow. It will be of value to marine scientists beginning research in the new interdisciplinary field of hydrodynamics and benthic biology, and it is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of this field from a biological viewpoint.

Effect of the PSP-causing dinoflagellate, alexandrium sp. on the initial feeding respnse of crassostrea gigas / Wildish, David

Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Effect of the PSP-causing dinoflagellate, alexandrium sp. on the initial feeding respnse of crassostrea gigas Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Wildish, David, Auteur Importance : pp. 35-43 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 578 Histoire naturelle des organismes vivants Résumé : The effects of toxic and non-toxic strains of Alexandrium sp. on the initial feeding responses of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas were determined by continuous monitoring of the clearance rate of individual oysters. This was determined fluorometrically by loss of fluorescence of live microalgae introduced as food. Feeding oysters with toxic or non-toxic A. tamarense and toxic A. fundyense resulted in stop/start clearance behaviour. In contrast, control oysters fed a reference microalga, lsochrysis sp., known to support their growth, did not exhibit this behavior. Pacific oysters acclimated to Isochlysis sp., fed mixtures of Alexandriuml Isochrysis, showed further evidence of stop/start clearance. Exposure for periods up to 48 hours with non-toxic A. tamarense did not enhance clearance of either Alexandrium or lsochrysis.
