The present study characterizes the reproductive cycle of Venerupis senegalensis (=V. pullastra) from Ria de  Aveiro (Portugal) as well as its nutrient storage and exploitation strategy. The reproductive cycle followed a seasonal cycle that correlated negatively with sea surface temperature, and comprised a ripe stage in winter followed by a spawning period  that began in late winter and ended in the early summer. This extended spawning may be an advantageous strategy for the  species because it ensures a continuous supply of settlers. Gametogenesis began in late summer/early autumn and intensified  with the decrease in temperature during autumn. The condition index increased even during the spawning period, which  indicates that there is rapid recovery and that reserves are accumulated during late summer and used later in the gametogenic  process. Proteins did not contribute significantly to gametogenesis and the glycogen pattern is typical of conservative species,  since gametogenesis depends largely on the amount of glycogen stored. The lipid storage and utilization cycle showed that  gametogenesis took place in autumn/winter and that energy reserves were accumulated in summer
