Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Plain ventral surface; reticulate pattern on dorsal surface; spiral valve with 11-14 turns.
Inhabits estuaries and large rivers, often far upstream. Usually found over sandy substrates where it feeds on benthic invertebrates (Ref. 12693). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve
Exhibit ovoviparity (aplacental viviparity), with embryos feeding initially on yolk, then receiving additional nourishment from the mother by indirect absorption of uterine fluid enriched with mucus, fat or protein through specialised structures (Ref. 50449). Distinct pairing with embrace (Ref. 205).
