| Notes |
Distribution: Northern Gaspe Waters, southern Gaspe waters (Baie des Chaleurs, Gaspe Bay to American, Orphan and Bradelle banks; eastern boundary: eastern Bradelle Valley), downstream part of middle St. Lawrence estuary, lower St. Lawrence estuary, Prince Edward Island (from the northern tip of Miscou Island, N.B. to Cape Breton Island south of Cheticamp, including the Northumberland Strait and Georges Bay to the Canso Strait causeway), Laurentian Channel (bathyal zone)(=Honguedo Strait), lower North Shore; middle North Shore (from Sept- Iles to Cape Whittle, including the Mingan Islands) [details] Distribution: Circumboreal [details] Habitat: bathyal, infralittoral and circalittoral of the Gulf and estuary [details] Reproduction: separate sexes, usually not dimorphic in shell structure; fertilization occurs within the mantle cavity anf young hatch as pelagic larvae (generalized for group) [details] Taxonomy: Some authors use Leda Schumacher, 1817 as the valid name for the genus (e.g. Madsen, 1949; Ockelmann, 1958). Vokes (1967) noticed that this is a junior synonym of Nucula, a genus from another family. The correct and valid name is without doubt Nuculana Link, 1807. [details] | |||||||||||||
