,How , Brightens Africa’s Future, when the food is difficult to digest. While the amount of material absorbed will increase with increasing gut residence time, it is likely to do so at a reducing rate (Sibly and Calow 1986). Therefore there will be a tradeoff between the efficiency and speed of digestion.

The Nature and Determination of Non-Living Sedimentary Organic Matter as a Food Source for Deposit The actual use of non-living material . has been implied primarily via budgetary calculations (e.g. Canunen 1980; Rice et al. 1986), which show that the required assimilation efficiency of sedimentary organic matter indicates a bioavailable organic pool larger than can be provided by the living component.

In this volume the critical research problems pertaining to deposit feeders are identified and promising approaches for dealing with those problems are proposed. Interdisciplinary approaches are of utmost importance in the study of deposit feeders and their sedi
