Feeding activity in shallow water marine benthos at Ryder Bay, Antarctica, 1997-2005

Measures of feeding activity in 17 species of shallow water marine benthos, as assessed visually by SCUBA divers. The aim of the study was to determine the seasonal and interannual variability in feeding activity. Data were taken once or twice a month over the period from October 1997 to May 2005. Not all species were monitored for the entire duration of the study, and the number of observations per species ranged from 21 to 133.

Statement
Suspension feeding benthos are sensitive to disturbance, and may retract their feeding tentacles if disturbed by an observer or passing predator. A small number of cases where this may have influenced the data are indicated in the comments section of the data set.
