The upper curve predicts filtration rates three times greater than those of the lower curve. Using a time-dependent numerical model for population dynamics and energy flow in post-settlement oyster populations, the effect of these two filtration versus size relationships on simulations of population growth and reproductive effort were compared.oystersenergy budgetfiltrationpopulation dynamicsmodelingArticle
