Abstract
A study of feeding behavior of Hydrobia ulvae Pennant, H. ventrosa Montagu, H. neglecta Muus, and Potamopyrgus jenkinsi Smith (Hydrobiidae, Gastropoda) on a wide size range of sediment fractions showed that these snails are capable of feeding on material adhering to sediment particles by swallowing small particles (deposit-feeding), and by browsing upon particle surfaces, which we call "epipsammic browsing"....
