摘要: The functional morphology of feeding has been investigated in three species caprellid amphipods. Feeding preferences are correlated with the increased setation and stoutness head appendages, denser setae greater trend toward fiber-feeding. It was found that Caprettu ~ena~rts Leach fed primarily by filter-feeding scraping; ~aracff~reltff tenuis Mayer relied on tilter- feeding, scraping, scavenging, predation; Ixconacia incertn depended almost entirely predatory habits. observed patterns were verified stomach content analysis.
