SHORT COMMUNICATION: Consumption of bacteria by larvae of a deep-sea polychaete

We investigated whether trochophore larvae of the polychaete Hesiocaeca methanicola, which lives on exposed ice-like methane hydrates between 500 and 600 m, could consume near-bottom picoplankton. In laboratory trials larvae significantly reduced the growth rates of all types of picoplankton, includ...
