A new scheme with six major nematode feeding guilds is proposed: (1) microvores; (2) ciliate feeders; and (3) deposit feeders sensu stricto are all nematodes without a distinct buccal armature. In the first two groups bacteria and protozoa, respectively are the major particulate food sources, while other items are included in the diet of the third. The three other categories are recognized among the nematodes with a buccal armature: (4) epigrowth feeders; (5) facultative predators; and (6) predators. Diatoms and other microalgae are an important particulate food for many epigrowth feeders. The importance of bacteria as a food source for these nematodes remains poorly documented. A strictly or mainly predatory behaviour has been described for only few species from the study area. Several nematodes, however, are facultative predators. The predatory strategy of Calyptronema maxweberi, as described in this paper, suggests the use of a paralysing or lethal secretion in prey capture, which, to our knowledge, is the first report for aquatic nematodes. Furthermore, the importance of sources other than particulate food in free-living aquatic nematodes is stressed. Our observations show that many aquatic nematodes are in fact opportunistic feeders, which may change feeding strategies in response to available food.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Observations on the feeding ecology of estuarine nematodes","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-23 01:31:45.188722","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":"LIVING MARINE NEMATODES, ADONCHOLAIMUS-THALASSOPHYGAS, AQUATIC NEMATODES, WATER, MICROHABITAT, MEIOBENTHOS, BIOLOGY, BIOMASS, CARBON, HABITS","Notes":null,"AnaPub":1997,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2018-05-17","DateCreate":"2001-04-03","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:A1997WL38000016","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1017/S0025315400033889"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":7298,"PubliDate":1997,"Pagination":"211-227","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"77","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43277,"SerRR":"Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom.
