Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | CoL | ITIS | WoRMS
Bivalvia | Venerida | Veneridae
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology
Benthic; depth range 0 - 46 m (Ref. 95344). Boreal, preferred 8°C (Ref. 107945); 60°N - 22°N, 166°E - 109°W
Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions
Pacific Ocean: West to east Bering Sea, Aleutian to Baja California.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?, range 2 - 3.5 cm Max length : 7.5 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 95344); common length : 6.4 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 78182); max. reported age: 16 years (Ref. 104675)
Maximum depth from Ref. 104447. Buries in gravel, sand and mud to more than 10 cm deep along the mid-intertidal zone (Ref. 95344). Preyed upon by naticid gastropods (Ref. 100855). Suspension-feeder (Ref. 78182). In general, suspension feeding bivalves mainly depend on phytoplankton and detritus material for nutrition (Ref. 107088).
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 (Ref. 833). Eggs are discharged through the siphon (Ref. 104667). Spawning: Two periods of high temperature and two spawning peaks may occur in summer due to strong water temperature fluctuations while only one temperature and spawning peak may be expected in a warmer than normal year (Ref. 78182).
