Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Depth range is based on occurrence in French Polynesia (Ref. 99666); to be replaced with a better reference. Minimum depth assumed from its ecology. Inhabits shallow subtidal zone (Ref. 99734).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | 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.
