Abstract
The paper brings together knowledge on the food of marine benthic ciliates with the exception of sessile forms. References are given to 260 species of which 90 have been studied by the author. The classification of ciliates according to their natural food and the specificity in choice of food is discussed and the ecological significance of discrimination of food according to size is emphasized.Keywords
