Association Borer in shells of the oysters Crassostrea rhizophorae (Guilding, 1828) and C. gigas (Thunberg, 1793). [details]Depth range 1-2 m. [details]
Distribution West Atlantic Ocean, Brazil: from Paraná to Santa Catarina. [details]

Habitat Polydora carinhosa bores in shells of the oysters Crassostrea rhizophorae and C. gigas, at shallow water. [details]
Reproduction Gonochoristic. Females deposit eggs into capsules which are joined to each other in a string. Each egg capsule is attached by two thin stalks to the inner wall of the burrow. Larvae develop inside the capsules until about the 14-chaetiger stage. The kind of lecithotrophy (endo- or exolecithotrophy) in Polydora carinhosa is unknown since only two broods with 10- and 13–14-chaetiger larvae were found. Holotype male, with sperm first present in chaetiger 27. [details]
Type locality West Atlantic Ocean, Brazil, Paraná, Paranaguá Bay (25º28'S, 48º27'W), 2 m, from shells of the oyster Crassostrea rhizophorae. [details]
