The clearance rate (Y) of Mytilus edulis kept in troughs with flowing sea water was measured as a function of flow rate (F) by estimating the concentrations of yeast cells entering (C1) and leaving (C2) the troughs. Clearance rate was calculated by means of the equation: Y = F X (1 - C2/C1). It is shown that the clearance rates are representative of the filtration rates using flow rates above a critical level and troughs of suitable geometry.
