Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Intertidal (Ref. 106854) to subtidal, on substrates ranging from sandy, muddy to shelly (Ref. 125642). Matutinae are facultative scavengers and opportunistic predators of benthic invertebrates, feeding mainly on mollusks and small crustaceans (Ref. 108791).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric. Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer.
