Benthic Metabolism in Fluvial Sediments with Larvae of <em>Lampetra</em> sp.

Benthic Metabolism in Fluvial Sediments with Larvae of <em>Lampetra</em> sp.

Lampreys spend their larval stage within fine sand fluvial sediments, where they burrow and act as filter feeders. Lamprey larvae (ammocoetes) can significantly affect benthic-pelagic coupling and nutrient cycling in rivers, due to high densities. However, their bioturbation, feeding and excretion a...
