Length at first maturity / Μέγεθος / Weight / Age
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση: Lm 2.5  range ? - ? cm Max length : 11.0 cm SHL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Αναφ. 348); common length : 6.5 cm SHL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Αναφ. 348)
Average edible weight is at 9 g (Ref. 351). Maximum depth from Ref. 75831. Littoral and sublittoral to a depth of about 20 m (Ref. 345). Found in intertidal areas in sand (Ref 75831). Deeply buried in sand, often coarse to gravel bottoms (Refs. 345, 126564). In general, suspension feeding bivalves mainly depend on phytoplankton and detritus material for nutrition (Ref. 107088).

Mass spawning occurs in late summer and larval stage is about 14 days (Ref. 351).
