Feeding rates of Ruditapes decussatus clam larvae from the D–shaped stage to metamorphosis were recorded at algal food concentrations ranging between 10 and 300 Isochrysis galbana cells μl−1. The ingestion rate was an allometric function of the organic weight of larvae (IR = aAFDWb) with exponents between 0.40 and 0.88, increasing with concentratio...
