1. Rates of respiration and feeding were measured for the sabellid polychaete, Myxicola infundibulum. 2. Basal rates of respiration were 1.5 times lower than routine rates. 3. Clearance and irrigation rates were independent of cell type when the worms were fed on monocultures of algae; however, preferential selection was seen when the algal species were offered simultaneously. 4. Calculations indicate that this species can meet its energetic needs at rather low cell densities. 5. It is suggested that these low energy requirements, coupled with the capacity for high pumping/clearing rates may be of adaptive significance in reducing competition for food resources.
