Mussels facilitate the sinking of microplastics to bottom sediments and their subsequent uptake by detritus-feeders
2020, Environmental PollutionCitation Excerpt :This species has been described as carnivore and/or scavenger and detritus-feeder (Riisgird, 1989). Its multiple and various feeding strategies make H. diversicolor a key player in structuring soft-bottom communities (Rönn et al., 1988), and a potential recipient of MP through various trophic pathways. Studies have shown that mussel biodeposits constitute a high-quality food source for this polychaetes, with potential application in integrated aquaculture (Jansen et al., 2019) for mitigation of adverse effects on benthic environments in connection with mussel-farming (Bergström et al., 2019).

2019, Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and EcologyCitation Excerpt :For example, the brown alga F. vesiculosus had high δ15N values (approximately 15‰) that led to higher δ15N values of H. diversicolor. Since δ15N values of H. diversicolor were approximately 3‰ higher than those of the other consumer species studied and its δ13C values resembled those of the bivalve L. balthica, it cannot be excluded that H. diversicolor might also have fed on the latter species, something that has been shown in previous studies (Hiddink et al., 2002; Rönn et al., 1988). However, δ15N values of H. diversicolor were similarly high in treatments with F. vesiculosus, arguing instead for deposit and suspension feeding rather than predation during the experiment.

2012, Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and EcologyCitation Excerpt :They can exceed 60,000 ind. m− 2, and can be the dominant invertebrates by mass on mudflats of the upper Bay of Fundy (Peer et al., 1986). They are an important food for various fish (Gilmurray and Daborn, 1981; McCurdy et al., 2005), migratory shorebirds (Hicklin and Smith, 1984), and other invertebrates (Commito, 1982; McCurdy and Moran, 2004; Ronn et al., 1988). Densities of C. volutator are negatively correlated with mud snails on the extensive mudflats of the upper Bay of Fundy (Drolet et al., 2009; Hamilton et al., 2003; 2006).
