Short description Morphology
Shell wedge-shaped, inflated. Posterior slope flat or concave, with fine radial threads. Colour: variable, usually cream with purplish or bluish tinges. Umbones usually darker hues.
Habitat: Infaunal in shallow sand, usually in environments rich in particulate organic matter (Ref. 344).
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.
