Anadara antiquata (Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL
Habitat. Attached by a weak single-stranded byssus to stones or rubble semiburied in sea-grass beds or muddy sediments.
Distribution. Has been found in various areas of the lagoon and in channels from 0.5 to 8 m.
Remarks. Massive examples were found in the channel off Ile Hermitage and similar shells have been found in shell middens (J. Light, personal observation), showing that this species is exploited and may have been more common than now observed.
Range. Indo-Pacific [R/M/S].
Figured specimen. 55.1 mm, NMW.Z.1999.073.00008.
