Depth range is based on occurrence in Mexico (Ref. 101353); to be replaced with a better reference. Mostly inhabits the intertidal zone (Ref. 106881). Found in mangroves (Refs. 101351, 106881), estuaries and coastal lagoons associated with mangrove roots (Ref. 106881). Eurythermal and euryhaline (Ref. 106881).

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.
