Feeding Behaviour of the Mussel, Mytilus edulis: New Observations, with a Minireview of Current Knowledge

Figure 5

Mytilus edulis. Time before incipient saturation (Δ𝑡) as a function of algal concentration (C) in steady-state experiments. Lines are asymptotic least square fits for Δ𝑡=𝑏/(𝐶−𝐶₀)^𝑎 shown for 𝐶₀=8000 cells mL⁻¹ (dotted line) and for 5000 cells mL⁻¹ (unbroken line).
