A hydrodynamic model was developed to examine particle capture by lophophores of encrusting bryozoans. Particle capture rate is predicted to increase with increasing speed of the feeding current. There should be a large feeding advantage when lophophores are tightly packed and excurrents are vented through chimneys. This prediction contradicts conc...
