Abstract
⺠We investigated feeding ecology of crustacean tubiculous amphipod Haploops nirae. ⺠Retention efficiency showed that particles larger than 20 µm ESD were 100% retained. ⺠The individual clearance rate was 14.6 ± 0.4 mL·hâ 1.indâ 1 or 25.2 ± 0.7 L·hâ 1.gdwâ 1. ⺠The feeding activity revealed an adaptation to feed under turbid conditions. ⺠Haploops filter a volume of water equivalent to the whole bay in 29-30 days.
