Βιολογία     Γλωσσάρι (π.χ. epibenthic)

Usually found in areas of moderate wave action or tidal flow, on the tops, sides, and bottoms of rocks, under ledges, and in crevices; in Oregon, often found in sea-urchin excavations in bedrock exposed to heavy surf (Ref. 290).

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