Βιολογία     Γλωσσάρι (π.χ. epibenthic)

Found in the infralittoral zone (Ref. 101611). Intertidal; occurs in exposed rocky shores. Settles on rocks in the low-tide zone of channels (Ref. 106159). Associated with shore-mud bottoms (Ref. 106180). Attaches and forms aggregations on the aerial roots of mangroves such as Rhizophora mangle, Avicennia and Laguncularia (Ref. 101610). Adapted to estuarine waters (Ref. 101611). In general, suspension feeding bivalves mainly depend on phytoplankton and detritus material for nutrition (Ref. 107088).

Life cycle and mating behavior Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | 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.
