Bivalve filter-feeding mollusks are important components of coastal
ecosystems because they remove large quantities of suspended
material from the water and excrete abundant amounts of reactive
nutrients. These animals are also major prey for numerous predators
including birds, fish, mammals, and invertebrates; furthermore,
they are significant food resources for humans. While studies on
the organismic and population level have dominated bivalve ecology,
the recent focus on the ecosystem roles of filter feeding systems
has led to larger-scale investigations. With this approach the
specific topics of physiology, grazing, predation, nutrient
cycling, physical environment, computer simulation modeling, and
environmental management are combined into a meaningful whole.
