Abstract
The filtration rates of two species of eulamellibranchs (Dreissena polymorpha, Sphaerium corneum) were determined for 2-hour-intervals always over one day. The described pattern of activity of the filtration efficiency has two or three peaks. The single values vary up to the ratio of one to ten. Therefore calculations of filtration capacities based on single measurements are very in-accurate.
