The quantitative relationship between activity (as detected by the comparison of grey levels in successive images using automated software) and sediment reworking in the deposit- feeding bivalve Abra ovata was investigated based on simultaneous and continuous measurements using laser telemetry, luminophore tracers, and image analysis. Total activity included both feeding (siphoning) and shell and/or foot activity. Sediment reworking was assessed through the measure- ments of surface sediment handling and vertical sediment mixing during 2 separate experiments. Surface sediment handling correlated positively with surface feeding activity. Shell and/or foot activ- ity induced oscillatory movements of the superficial sediment layer but did not account for true ver- tical sediment mixing. Conversely, feeding activity induced intense vertical sediment mixing. Quan- titative changes in feeding activity and vertical sediment mixing based on a biodiffusion model were positively correlated. These results underscore the importance of considering both the nature and intensity of infaunal activity when parameterizing models of sediment reworking.
