Ecology of Polymesoda erosa
 
Main Ref. Bernard, F.R., Y.Y. Cai and B. Morton, 1993
Remarks Found in intertidal areas in mangrove mud (Ref. 75831, 85174). Also in fresh and brackish waters of mangrove swamps, estuaries, and larger rivers. Highly tolerant to surface desiccation of its habitat; can survive by aerial respiration at the posterior mantle margin for a period of a few days, and feed from subterranean water by means of water exchange through a narrow anterior gape of valves (Ref. 345).
