Note

The darter goby, Gobionellus boleosoma, sieves meiofaunal organisms from ingested sediment bites. Gut contents of darter gobies were compared with available food items as determined from core analysis. Copepods (the most numerous item in guts), and ostracods were significantly selected for by the gobies. Nematodes occurred in the same relative numbers in guts as in cores. Foraminifera (the most numerous item in cores) were significantly selected against.
