Balance energético en la almeja Ruditapes decussatus (Linnaeus, 1758)
The effect of food ingestion and clam size on absorption efficiency, absorption rate and oxygen consumption of the clam Ruditapes decussatus (L., 1758) was studied. Absorption efficiency (AE) was related to the ingestion rate (IR) following the non-lineal equation AE = 0.836 + e-0.64/IR (P 0.01; n =...

| Sumario: | The effect of food ingestion and clam size on absorption efficiency, absorption rate and oxygen consumption of the clam Ruditapes decussatus (L., 1758) was studied. Absorption efficiency (AE) was related to the ingestion rate (IR) following the non-lineal equation AE = 0.836 + e-0.64/IR (P 0.01; n = 26; r² = 0.321) No significant relationship as found between AE and clam live weight, whereas there was a relationship between absorption rate (AR) and IR, following the expression AR = 0.8248 IR - 0.0344 (P 0.001; n = 26; r² = 0.964) The maintenance food ration for a 2 g (live weight) clam was estimated as 1.528 J/h, equivalent to a daily food ration of 0.08 mg organic matter/g clam live weight. |
