Abstract: Studies on the role of filter feeding bivalve in the proliferation of phytoplan kton under artificial conditions in laboratory show that filter feeding bivalve had an obvious effect on phytoplankton growth which was positively correlated w ith the density of bivalve. Such an effect was quite different with different s pe cies of phytoplankton,and mainly depended on their needs for nutrient salts.Diff erent species of filter bivalve had different promotion effect on phytoplankton,because of the different quantities and components of their excretions.
