Abstract
The growth of 0-group plaice feeding on the siphons of Tellina tenuis has been studied in large outdoor tanks. The density of Tellina, relative to plaice, controls the initial growth rate and the maximum size reached by the plaice. Estimates of plaice metabolism from laboratory studies and from the observed cropping rates of siphons are compared, and relations between growth rate, metabolic rate, and food supply are deduced for the relatively natural conditions in the tanks.
