Freshwater Mussels as Biofilters
… through the production of faeces and pseudofaeces. Therefore mussels behaved as flocculators, and could be used in the early stages of drinking water treatment. In order to assess the feasibility of producing the large numbers of mussels needed for their use as biofilters, freshwater …

Dispersal and remineralisation of biodeposits: Ecosystem impacts of mussel aquaculture
… bivalves produce biodeposits (faeces and pseudofaeces) that have much higher sinking velocities than their constituent particles. Consequently they cause sedimentation of material that might otherwise not be deposited. The benthic remineralisation of biodeposits increases sediment oxygen …

Invasive non-native species and the management and exploitation of freshwater ecosystems
… greater quantities of cyanobacteria in pseudofaeces. Rejection of cyanobacteria by invasive mussels may drive HABs. Beyond invasive mussels, I also assessed the allelopathic effect of invasive plants Hydrocotyle ranunculoides and Crassula helmsii on phytoplankton communities. The …

Ecological effects of turbidity variations in and around dredging areas in the Port of Tauranga
… reduction in clearance rates and productions of pseudofaeces. These mechanisms showed efficiencies in increasing the quality of food ingested by pipis and thus regulating their energy acquisition in high turbidity treatments. However, above a threshold, responses in feeding rates indicated …
