  abstract = {{M}onthly samples of the bivalves #{A}tactodea striata$, #{G}afrarium tumidum$ and #{A}nadara scapha$ were collected over 1 year from the littoral zone on the {S}outh-{W}estern coast of {N}ew {C}aledonia. #{A}. striata$ and #{G}. tumidum$ were studied by macroscopic examination of gonads and microscopic examination of gamete smears. {F}or #{A}. scapha$, only microscopic examination was use. #{A} striata$ and #{G}. tumidum$ are dioecious, whereas #{A}. scapha$ is a protandric hermaphrodite. {S}exual differentiation begins at a shell lenght of 20 mm for #{A}. striata$ and #{G}. tumidum$ aand 22 mm for #{A}. scapha$. {T}he three species have an extended or continuous breeding period, although, in all three, sexual activity peaks in the hot season.
