What is the main food source of the shipworm (Teredo navalis)? A stable isotope approach

Stable isotope analysis of soft bodies of the shipworm Teredo navalis demonstrated that this species is mainly feeding on seston by filter feeding in contrast to wood consumption. T. navalis showed similar stable isotope values (δ13C, δ15N) as Mytilus edulis and Crassostrea gigas, which species were attached to the wood instead of boring into.
