Summary The feeding strategies and feeding techniques of 12 nematode species, isolated from the Ems-Dollard estuary, were investigated in agar cultures. In the consumption of bacteria, algae, diatoms, protozoa and small metazoa, two main strategies are distinghuished: the non-selective strategy, characteristic of species living on the surface of macrophytes, and the selective strategy, characteristic of sediment-inhabiting species. The selective strategists showed various ingestion techniques, depending on the size and armature of the buccal cavity; food items could be ingested whole, or pierced or cracked and the contents sucked out.
