Individually marked Japanese oyster drills, Ocinebra japonica, were presented with a choice of four different food organisms: mussels (Mytilus edulis); clams (Venerupis japonica); and oysters (Crassostrea gigas and Ostrea lurida). During the course of the 65-day experiment mussels constituted 42.6 per cent of the food organisms attacked by drills; clams, 36.5 per cent; and oysters, 20.9 per cent. The average time that an Ocinebra took to drill though a shell and finish feeding on the body mass are: mussels, 4.98 days; clams, 6.31 days; Olympia oysters, 5.70 days; and Pacific oysters, 14.0 days (on the basis of one Pacific oyster). Experimental evidence suggests that a drill will continue to attack the same species of food organism that it had attacked previously, rather than moving to an easily accessible organism of a different species.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"A preliminary study of the feeding habits of the Japanese oyster drill, Ocinebra japonica","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-14 01:32:15.818626","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":1958,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2024-01-29","DateCreate":"2024-01-29","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:A1958WZ01300003","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1139/f58-025"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":381330,"PubliDate":1958,"Pagination":"529-535","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"15","Issue":"4","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":44381,"SerRR":"Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada.
