| Summary: | Adult clams Chione califomiensis (Broderip, 1835) were sampled monthly between May 1988 and September 1989, from intertidal populations in Puerto San Carlos, Bahía Magdalena, Baja California Sur. Gonadal development was monitored using standard histological methods. Observed gametogenic progression was categorized by five stages: inactive, gametogenesis, ripe, spawning and spent. Both male and female clams displayed the same stages. Spawning in the population occurred continuously for four months in 1988 (June to September) and for six months in 1989 (April to September), both years with a peak of spawning activity in August. |
