| Selective feeding in the adult oyster Crassostrea gigas was studied using natural particle assemblages in the estuarine environment of the Bassin de Marennes Oleron (France). Oysters were exposed to natural variations of suspended particulate matter by direct pumping of sea water from the bay during various tidal cycles. Experiments were conducted during the spring over both spring tides and neap tides, so as to obtain a maximum range of variation in seston characteristics, spring tide being characterized by very strong currents with high loads of resuspended materials (sediment, microphytobenthos and detritus). Particles were analysed for their chloropigment content by HPLC. The native pigments consisted exclusively of chlorophyll a and c, from both... |
