Abstract
The settlement and early growth of spat of Chlamys opercularis (L.) on benthic epifauna has been studied. Intensity of spat settlement may not always correspond to intensity of spawning and the minor summer spawning may be of greater importance than the more intensive autumn spawning. The growth rates of spat were estimated from analysis of size frequency data and the nature of the first growth ring has been studied with reference to the bimodality in size range and the relationship with the two peaks of settlement.
