摘要

Abstract..The absorption efficiencies of the intertidal mangrove dwelling molluskMelampus coffeusand the rocky intertidal dwelling molluskAcanthopleura granulatawere calculated by a modification of CONOVER'S (1966) equation.M. coffeustended to consume fresh mangrove leaves indicating thatM. coffeusmay obtain much of its energy from the actual substrate material rather than from associated bacteria and meiofauna on decaying leaves. Obtaining energy directly from the substrate may be a mechanism forM. coffeusto utilize its food source more efficiently. In contrast, chitons(A. granulata)may utilize the higher energy components of their limited intertidal microflora! food source. Using the high energy component of a food source may be an additional mechanism by which organisms efficiently utilize a food source.
