Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Longevity wild refers to the synonym Venerupis pullastra (Ref. 2823). Found buried along the sub-littoral zone in fine-grained sandy or gravel substrates with less than 30% mud content (Refs. 114581, 7882). A microvore that feeds on organic detritus (Ref. 96352). Also in Refs. 2711, 96292.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the class Bivalvia are mostly gonochoric, some are protandric hermaphrodites. Life cycle: Embryos develop into free-swimming trocophore larvae, succeeded by the bivalve veliger, resembling a miniature clam.
