Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

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).

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

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