Specimens of Solemya reidi Bernard, 1980, were obtained at regular intervals from a population in Alberni Inlet, Vancouver Island, Canada, between August 1982 and October 1983.
Mature individuals of both sexes (≥ 25 mm in shell length) were examined for their degree of reproductive
development based on gonad histology. Female reproductive condition was also analyzed on the
basis of oocyte size frequencies. Several lines of evidence indicated that spawning occurred throughout
the year within this population. Florida Atlantic University.
