Abstract
Feeding and assimilation rates of the barnacle Balanus. a. amphitrite has been studied using two types of food; the alga Chlorella sp. and the flesh of the Asiatic clam Corbicula fluminea for the period from August 1995 to January 1996 at four temperatures 15, 20, 25, 30 ºC. There were significant differences in food consumptions at different temperatures. Food consumption rates were ranging between 0.0414 to 0.3209 mg DW/ind./day for the alga and between 0.1331 to 1.5553 mg DW/ind./day for the clam, and the assimilations efficiency were77.6 % and %85.9, respectively. There were positive relationships between food consumption and fecal production with the dry weight of the barnacle.
