In aquaria, Macoma balthica burrowed to a depth of about 2 cm. and then extended the siphons. The inhalant siphon behaved much as in Tellina tenuis, reaching

Mature Macoma balthica are rarely over 25 mm long (Dunnill and Ellis 1969), but could be confused with the young of some of these larger clams. Other genera of Tellinidae (ie. Tellina sp.) have lateral hinge teeth (at least in the right valve); Macoma do not. Macoma are generally more rounded and more inflated than Tellina; Macoma are smooth

Macoma balthica feeding

Waste and unused water are ejected through the other siphon. Predators. Macoma clams’ long siphons look like worms crawling along the bottom. Macoma balthica is a resident species but because of near-surface habitat preference, populations may be subject to tidal re-location and scouring. Also observations of propulsion stimulus to scallops may assist in local relocation (Langston, W.J., pers.

13 Jul 2015 The tellinid clam Macoma balthica can vary its feeding behavior and shift between deposit- and suspension feeding, but defining the factors

ensi,2, jan b. hulscheri and sakej of Macoma balthica exceed 3,000 individuals/m2• The population density of Macoma balthica is, in part, controlled by the bacterial population of the surficial sediments (Newell, 1965). Macoma balthica is tha most significant producer of copious amounts of resistant fecal pellets in the muddy intertidal ·areas. Macoma balthica is not normally considered to be toxic but may transfer toxicants through the food chain to predators.

Östersjömussla (Limecola balthica eller Macoma balthica) är en liten mussla som förekommer i norra Atlanten, inklusive i Nordsjön och i Östersjön. Den finns också i norra Stilla havet. Musslan blir cirka 2,5 centimeter stor och lever nergrävd i sandiga eller leriga bottnar. Dess tomma skal kan hittas uppspolade på stranden.

balthica were measured every three to four days until the clams' burial depth became stable. Behavior has a predictive power that is often underutilized as a tool for signaling ecological change.

In the Corophium-zone about 20% of Macoma balthica present makes feeding tracks indicating they were deposit feeding; no feeding tracks are found outside the Corophium-zone. The infection rate in summer of Macoma by a gymnophallid trematode was studied. Large specimens are infected to a larger percentage than small ones. In the course of the summer an increasing mortality occurred amongst

Effects of suspended food availability on the feeding mode and burial depth of the Baltic clam, Macoma balthica Junda Lin and Anson H. Hines Lin, J and Hines, A. H. 1994. Effects of suspended food availability on the feeding mode and burial depth of the Baltic clam, Macoma balthica. - Oikos 69: 28-36. AB - In this paper an analysis is made of subtle behavioural differences between adult male and female Ovstercatchers feeding on Macoma balthica under field conditions and in captivity. Macoma is a tellinid bivalve that in the Dutch Wadden Sea is mainly preyed upon during spring and summer when it is buried at a shallow depth.
