What a difference a species makes: a meta–analysis of dreissenid mussel impacts on freshwater ecosystems (2010, background): “The direct consumption of small zooplankton (e.g., rotifers and copepod nauplii) has been demonstrated in numerous controlled experiments (MacIsaac et al. 1995, Thorp and Casper 2002, Wong et al. 2003, Wong and Levinton 2006).”
Ingestion of bivalve larvae by Mytilus edulis: experimental and field demonstrations of larviphagy in farmed blue mussels (2004, background): “Wong et al. (2003a, 2003b) have shown that the potential for a trophic link between mesozooplankton (rotifers) and bivalves (both freshwater and marine) does exist.”
Stable isotope and fatty acid evidence for uptake of organic waste by green-lipped mussels Perna viridis in a polyculture fish farm system (2006, background): “However, mussels can 280 Gao et al.: Uptake of fish farm waste by mussels be carnivores or omnivores under some circumstances (Wong & Levinton 2003).”
