【 摘 要 】

ABSTRACT: Bivalve and microzooplankton community grazing on natural plankton assemblages were studied in 2 embayments of the Peconic Bay estuary (West Neck Bay, Long Island, New York) to determine the relative importance of each community on plankton mortality. Each embayment was characterized by a fringing salt marsh. The bivalve populations consisted of a re-stocked population of
