The Patagonian scallop fishery of this species has been certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (http://www.msc.org/) as well-managed and sustainable (http://www.msc.org/html/content_1294.htm). This is an epifaunal species found at depths of 1 to 270 meters. Adults live on the bottom supported by their right valve while juveniles appear as epibionts of algae and other invertebrates. Single species found in shallow waters and forms large banks in deeper waters. Larvae are free-living (Ref. 87801). It is found in forests of Macrocystis pyrifera (Ref. 92889).

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