Ecology Summary - Panopea generosa
SeaLifeBase
Ecology of Panopea generosa
 
Main Ref. Pacific Northwest Shell Club, 2014
Remarks It is found on sandy and muddy bottoms, in low intertidal areas to a depth of 15 meters (Ref. 865). Subtidal populations aggregate in dense beds to a depth of 110 m (Ref. 105142). Adults bury up to 1 m (Ref. 105154). Juveniles are preyed upon by fish, starfish, crabs, and snails (Ref. 105142).
