초록

There were many studies on the dependence of clearance rate on temperature and the body size of bivalves (Winter, 1973; Bayne et al., 1976; Yukihira et al., 1998), Most of these studies dealt with relatively large species, especially commercially important species. Studies with smaller but ecologically important species were relative rare(Werner and Hollibaugh, 1993). (omitted)
