Filter-feeding organisms primarily consume microscopic particles suspended in water, including plankton, algae, and detritus. They use specialized structures such as gills, mucus nets, or siphons to capture and filter these particles from the water. Depending on the species, their diet may also include small organic matter and bacteria, which provide essential nutrients for their growth and survival. These organisms play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems by helping to maintain water clarity and nutrient cycling.

What is suspension feedingwhat is passive suspension feeding?

Suspension feeding is a method used by various aquatic organisms to obtain food by filtering suspended particles, such as plankton and detritus, from the water column. Passive suspension feeding refers to a strategy where organisms rely on water currents to bring food particles to them, rather than actively swimming or using appendages to capture prey. This method is commonly seen in filter-feeding organisms like bivalves and certain coral species, which use specialized structures to trap and consume the suspended matter.
