Abstract :The effects of phytoplankton concentration, size and water temperature on the feeding rate of the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from the Black Sea were investigated in the laboratory within a static system. Overall consumption (total cell/h) was significantly higher at the highest phytoplankton concentrations than at the lowest concentration (pKeywords : Mytilus galloprovincialis, food consumption, filtration rate, phytoplankton concentration, mussel size, temperature
