Jactellina clathrata, commonly known as the shiborizakura tellin (squeezed cherry blossom tellin), is a species of tellinid, a marine bivalve mollusk in the family Tellinidae.[1]
Description[edit]
The shells of these burrowing tellins are oval, elongated and much flattened.[2][3] The two valves are connected by a large external ligament.[2] They burrow into neritic (or sublittoral) sand habitats[4]. Deshayes originally described Jactellina clathrata as having characteristics similar to Fabulina fabula[3], which burrows into silty sand in sublittoral habitats and extends an inhalant siphon above the sediment surface to feed.[5] The inhalant siphon sucks in suspended particles and vacuums up detritus from the sediment surface.[5] [6]A second siphon expels the filtered intake.[2][7]
Distribution[edit]
This species occurs widely in Western Pacific Ocean and along northern Australia, East Timor, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Japan, Hawaii and Vanuatu.[8] On some tropical shores they are among the most abundant occur bivalves.[9]
Habitat[edit]
These tellins live in sands in the neritic zone (sublittoral zone).[4]
