Well, i jus had a wonderful meal at Newton with the rest of my friends. It was great as it comprised of my fav food, cockles a.k.a. Sea Harm, if din spell wrongly. And then, someone asked, 'how do cockles reproduced?" Great question i supposed. Afterall it is my fav food, shldn't i obliged to know more about them so as to have a greater and closer relationship with them? And when i consume them, at least i can eat peacefully as i know how exactly they reproduced and won't affect their life cycle thoroughly.
Well, back to how cockles reproduced. As easy as always, i went googling and i found out that COCKLES
actually have seperated sexes. So, they have both male and female organs in a single cockle. Isn't that amazing? So what kind of fertilization do they get involved in?
Well, the male released their sperms into the sea while the female released it planktonic ovaries into the same place. Metamorphorsis takes place and a baby cockle is born. And well, cockles belonged to the same family as Oysters, Clams, Scallops and they are commonly known as Bivalves. It simply means two parts. So ?? haha...
And also, Cockles don eat SHIT. They consumed planktons, just like BIG WHALES. IS true man.
