Abstract: Detritus plays an important role as a trophic resource for marine invertebrates, since it serves as a main trophic pathway of the marine ecosystem, and is one of the most important features of habitat structure in vegetated habitats. Studies have indicated that amphipods do not consume algal biomass directly, but feed on associated material such as detritus, rather than utilising the plant substratum as food.
