Abstract

Filtration rate of bivalve Dreissena polymorpha with two treatments and four replicates and two controls was assessed in Anzali Lagoon laboratory. Results showed that the mean filtration rate of bivalve on alga Chlorella volgaris in temperatures 1-6'c and 25°c are 125m1 per hour and 58.65ml per hour respectively. There was a significant difference between mean filtration rates with the two treatments (P<0.05)......
