Abstract
⺠Shell morphology, growth and feeding of a micrograzer were studied on two seagrasses. ⺠Shell and radular morphology are different amongst seagrasses. ⺠Ingestion is higher in Cymodocea nodosa but absorption is higher in Zostera marina. ⺠A preference for Zostera marina occurs when both seagrasses are available. ⺠Growth in both seagrasses is similar, suggesting similar benefits for the neritid.
