The deep-burrowing angelwing clam, Cyrtopleura costata (Family Pholadidae), occurs in shallow water from Massachusetts, USA, to Brazil and has been a commercially harvested food product in Cuba and Puerto Rico. This study examines its potential for commercial aquaculture development. The combined effects of salinity and temperature on survival and shell growth to metamorphosis of angelwing larvae were studied using a 5 × 5 factorial design; salinities ranged from 15 to 35‰ S, in 5‰ S intervals, and temperatures ranged from 15 to 35°C in 5°C intervals. Greatest larval shell growth occurred at 30°C and 20‰ S over the first 8 days and at 30°C and 25‰ S over the entire 16-day larval period.
