Changes with time in aLithophaga lithophaga population, spatial distribution, size-frequency distribution and recruitment were studied. The population was homogenous, without statistically significant differences, down to a depth of 6 m, the depth to which sampling was carried out. Population density showed periodic variations over the year and changed as the gradient of the substratum increased. Dispersion indices indicated that individuals were distributed randomly in clumps during the period of recruitment at different depths. Juveniles, up to a length of 4 mm, formed the highest percentage of the population. Larvae settled at a length of >260μm, and individuals reached a length of 35 mm by the end of their first year. The appearance of newly settled individuals occurred two months after the maximum occurrence of larvae in the water. High percentages of settled spat were first observed in early winter at a depth of between 0–3 m although, later, higher percentages were found at 3–6 m depth.
