Clearance rate (CR) was measured in blue mussels Mytilus edulis L. from Aiguillon Bay and the Oosterschelde using 3 different methods: the flow-through method, the bio-deposition method and the indirect or clearance method. CR differed significantly as a function of the method used and of the origin of the mussels. CR measured with the bio-deposition method were significantly lower than rates measured with the other methods. Results for the flow-through method depended, however, on how CR was calculated. CR using the flow-through and indirect methods was on average 10.0 l g-1 h-1 in mussels from Aiguillon Bay and 5.3 l g-1 h-1 in mussels from the Oosterschelde. The significantly lower CR of mussels from Oosterschelde was related to condition index and gill area, but could not entirely be explained by these factors

- Selective Capture and Ingestion of Particles by Suspension-Feeding Bivalve Molluscs: A Review (2018, unknown): “In selection studies, a flow-through system allows for a more accurate determination of the ratio of particles in food and PF and more robust time-averaged assessment of selection (e.g., Petersen et al. 2004, Rosa et al. 2017).”
- Effect of temperature on filtration rate in the mussel Mytilus edulis: no evidence for temperature compensation (2005, methodology): “However, in the last 3 cited papers, the mussels were filtering at low rates, varying between only 10 and 30% of the rates of fully open mussels; the low rates can be explained by incorrect use of the flow-through chamber method (Riisgård 2001b,c,d, Petersen 2004, Petersen et al. 2004).”
- InEx—a direct in situ method to measure filtration rates, nutrition, and metabolism of active suspension feeders (2005, background): “Bio-deposition methods (reviewed by Iglesias et al. 1998; Petersen et al. 2004) estimate intake rates by comparing the inorganic (and thus indigestible) content of seston with the inorganic content of bivalve bio-deposits.”
