Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology
Benthic; depth range 0 - 183 m (Ref. 83435). Tropical; 37°N - 14°N, 100°W - 65°W (Ref. 83435)
Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions
Western Central Atlantic: from North Carolina to Texas, Mexico, Belize, and Puerto Rico.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?, range 7 - 10 cm Max length : 11.2 cm DL male/unsexed; (Ref. 83435)
The 144.9 mm size reported by Wagner & Abbott (1973) needs confirmation. Wagner & Abbott (1967) reported a maximum size of 117 mm, which itself is an error for 112 mm (specimen is in ANSP; Ref. 83435).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Broadcast spawners. Life cycle: Free-swimming larvae hatch from eggs and develop into veligers which later settle down the water column and undergo metamorphosis into juvenile conch (Refs. 833, 105282). Mating behavior: Males that attempt to mate with a female being guarded by another male fight over with each other in a sparring contest using their proboscis (Refs. 105242, 105282).
