An analysis of differences in size, growth rate, age at first reproduction, life span, mode of reproduction, niche and habitats between these two species demonstrates that their life history strategies are different in several important ways. Gale Group is a Thomson Corporation Company. Reproduction overhead is not idicated, since it is payed at conversion of buffer to eggs/foetuses. Terms of use | The fertilized egg cells become trochophoral larvae, 99.9 percent of which are eaten in the course of their four-week development into young mussels.
