Chilean mussel

Species of bivalve

The Chilean mussel or Chilean blue mussel, Mytilus chilensis, is a species of blue mussel native to the coasts of Chile from Biobío Region to Cape Horn. Genomic evidence has confirmed that the native Chilean blue mussel is genetically distinct from the Northern Hemisphere M. edulis, M. galloprovincialis and M. trossulus and also genetically different from Mytilus platensis, the other species of smooth shelled mussel from South America.
