Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | CoL | ITIS | WoRMS

Gastropoda | Cycloneritida | Neritidae

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Benthic; depth range 0 - 1 m (Ref. 100889).  Tropical

Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions

Indo-Pacific: from the Gulf of Bengal to Papua New Guinea; north to southern Japan and south to Queensland.

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 3.5 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 349); common length : 2.5 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 349)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Collected for food and for the shell by coastal populations (Ref. 349). Depth range is based on occurrence in Mexico (Ref. 100889); to be replaced with a better reference. Common on intertidal rocks. Individuals become inactive in crevices while submerged; thus, avoiding submergence (Ref. 100888).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the order Neritopsina are mostly gonochoric and broadcast spawners. Life cycle: Embryos develop into planktonic trocophore larvae and later into juvenile veligers before becoming fully grown adults.
