Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Könsmognad: Lm ?, range 2 - ? cm Max length : 9.5 cm SHL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 109255)
Length information from sampling in the Patagonian shelf. Collected individuals were 47-63 mm in length (Ref. 78355). Found in shallow subtidal benthic communities of two islands in Saldanha Bay (Ref. 78353) and dominated the sessile fauna of Robben Island at depths beyond 17 m (Ref. 78192). Found attached to rocky substrates, associated with holdfasts of juvenile brown algae, and may occasionally reach greater depths; may be found isolated in intertidal or forming large banks in eulittoral (Ref. 87801). It is also found in forests of Macrocystis pyrifera (Ref. 92889).
Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | 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.
