To address how mussel tissue C: N: P stoichiometry vary in relation to seston nutrient composition and Chl.    From Wordnik.com.  [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference

Particulate C and particulate N of seston were measured using the same methods as for tissue nutrient analyses.    From Wordnik.com.  [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference

Dreissena are not restricted in the range of their body mass stoichiometry and may not be P limited if they graze on seston (supporting our second hypothesis).    From Wordnik.com.  [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference

Our results also revealed an equal coefficient of variation of C: N: P ratio and lack of imbalance in C: P and N: P ratios between seston and mussels, suggesting that.    From Wordnik.com.  [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference

The lack of imbalance in C: P and N: P ratios between seston and mussels along with high tissue C: P ratio of the mussel allow them to tolerate potential P limitation and maintain high growth rate.    From Wordnik.com.  [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference

They have been documented to filter 53 tons of seston per hour in the Szczecin Gulf (Poland) and reduce the concentration of seston 2. 3-6.9 times in Narochanskie lake system (Belarus) and threefold in Lukomskoe Lake (Belarus).    From Wordnik.com.  [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference

Comparison of descriptive statistics for molar ratios of C: P, N: P, and C: N from zebra mussel and seston sampled from the sampling site at the eastern part of Lake Erken (site G) during June-November 2005. doi: 10.1371 / journal. pone.0005345.t002.    From Wordnik.com.  [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference

Her first objective was to describe the nutritional environment inhabited by the larvae of the fishes during the period of maximum reproduction and, to this end, based on the biochemical composition of the seston (the particles on which the larvae feed).    From Wordnik.com.  [innovations-report] Reference

But to understand how the zebra mussel, as a successful invader, handle this stoichiometric constraints, we concurrently analyzed the elemental composition of the food (seston) and tissue of the mussels collected from a sampling site in Lake Erken in which nutrient composition of food and mussels varied over time.    From Wordnik.com.  [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference
