This platform provides information and knowledge about the Flanders Hydraulics' areas of expertise in 'hydraulics and sediment', 'harbours and waterways', 'hydraulic structures', 'water management' and 'coastal protection' - ranging from Flanders Hydraulics' employees with their expertise, the curriculum of this institution, to publications, projects, data (in the long term) and events in which Flanders Hydraulics is involved.
The importance of the particle selective feeding of bivalves becomes more evident and it is necessary to incorporate thisphenomenon into ecological models in order to reflect correctly the material fluxes inside the organism and ecosystem as well.The problems related to the modelling of organic matter selection are considered in this paper and a newdefinition of pre-ingestiveselection efficiency is proposed. It differs from the classical one in using the organic material fraction in ingested food insteadof pseudofaeces. The newly defined selection efficiency exhibits an advantage in simplified shape of experimental relationshipto the organic matter fraction in seston and easier derivation of formulas related to mathematical food processing formulation.
