“…In laboratory experiments, zooplankton and barnacles use their appendages to capture edible as well as crude oil droplets up to 10 µm diameter (Letendre et al, 2020;Letendre and Cameron, 2022). Mechanisms by which SF fishes might retain surface films, suspended droplets, or floating globules of hydrophobic organics have not been investigated, although crossflow membrane filtration and hydrocyclones are major technologies for separating oils from wastewater (e.g., Nunes et al, 2021;Su et al, 2021;Yang et al, 2022).…”

Key unresolved questions about particle separation mechanisms in suspension-feeding fishes are identified and discussed, focusing on areas with the potential for substantial future discovery. The published hypotheses that are explored have broad applicability to biological filtration and bioinspired improvements in commercial and industrial crossflow microfiltration processes and microfluidics. As the first synthesis of the primary literature on the particle separation mechanisms of marine, estuarine, and freshwater suspension-feeding fishes, the goals are to enable comparisons with invertebrate suspension-feeding processes, stimulate future theoretical and empirical studies, and further the development of biomimetic physical and computational fluid dynamics models. Of the eight particle separation mechanisms in suspension-feeding fishes, six have been proposed within the past twenty years (inertial lift and shear-induced migration, reduction of effective gap size by vortices, cross-step filtration, vortical flow along outer faces of gill raker plates, ricochet filtration, and lateral displacement). The pace of discovery is anticipated to continue accelerating. Multidisciplinary collaboration and integration among biologists and engineers (including chemical, mechanical, biomedical, and filtration engineering) will result in new perspectives to identify patterns and potential unifying mechanisms across the breadth of suspension-feeding fish taxa, morphology, and function.
