  abstract = {{U}nderstanding the reproductive biology of a species is an important means of determining the renewal capacity of natural stocks, especially in the case of heavily exploited species. {I}t is a fundamental element in supporting the implementation of management measures. {H}ere, we studied the bloody cockle ({S}. senilis) in the {S}ine-{S}aloum, with the aim of describing its seasonal and spatial reproductive cycle. {S}. senilis reproduction was studied over an annual cycle at two sites chosen for their contrasting situations along the upstream-downstream gradient. {T}he reproductive cycle was studied by histological analysis of a pool of individuals maintained in-situ and sampled throughout the year. {O}ur results showed that gamete maturation is asynchronous within and between individuals. {G}ametogenesis mostly occurred in {O}ctober. {T}he maturation stage showed a seasonal pattern with continuous reproduction throughout the year, with two preferred periods between {M}ay and {J}uly and {D}ecember and {F}ebruary. {T}he reproductive cycle is highly dependent on temperature and salinity variations, resulting in a seasonal cycle and spatial heterogeneity. {T}he temperature induces gametogenesis and salinity synchronizes the spawning periods.},
