Builds permanent passageways from 50 to 70 cm deep (Ref. 104108).

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

Members of the class Bivalvia are mostly gonochoric (Ref. 833), some are protandric hermaphrodites (Ref. 104221). Life cycle: Embryos develop into free-swimming trocophore larvae, succeeded by the bivalve veliger, resembling a miniature clam.
