Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Length based on occurrence record; to be replaced with better reference. Known from the intertidal areas to a depth of 300 m. They are found on hard substrates including holdfasts of Macrocystis sp., cobbles, pebbles, and shells lying on silt, under boulders or buried in sand (Ref. 87801).

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

Members of the class Polyplacophora are mostly gonochoric. Life cycle: Eggs hatch into lecitotrophic planktonic trocophore larvae (no veliger stage) which later metamorphose and settle on the bottom as young adults.
