“…In the anteroventral margin, the shell has two small teeth. The internal and external shell characteristics were comparable to those of Mytella charruana (d'Orbigny, 1842) descriptions in Coan & Valentich (2012) and Mediodia et al (2017). Recent studies have shown that M. charruana, as M. falcata, are junior synonyms of M. strigata (Lim et al 2018), and the name Mytella strigata (Hanley, 1843) is the correct scientific name today referred to in the World Register of Marine Species (MolluscaBase 2021).…”

“…According to Coan & Valentich (2012) and Mediodia et al (2017), their morphological characteristics taxonomically identified mussels. Tissues samples of these organisms (15 individuals) were preserved in 96% ethanol and transported to the Laboratory of Molecular Biodiversity of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (BioMol) for extraction, amplification, and sequencing of DNA.…”

Individuals of mussels were collected in ponds from a commercial shrimp farm in the Unare region, Anzoátegui State, Venezuela. Identification was carried out using dichotomous keys and corroborated via analysis of similarities between the sequences of partial mitochondrial DNA of the cytochrome oxidase gene and Mytella strigata (Hanley, 1843) reported in GenBank with 99-100% similarity. Morphological analyses further supported the identification of the specimen. The first report of M. strigata in the Venezuelan Caribbean coast suggests that it could be a transplanted species. Possible negative effects of M. strigata on commercial shrimp production systems are discussed.

This study investigates the marine macroinvertebrate fauna of rhodolith beds (non-geniculated red corallinaceaous algae) in northeast Brazilian. A total of 57 species were identified, belonging to six phyla (Platyhelminthes, Annelida, Sipuncula, Mollusca, Arthropoda and Echinodermata), of which 50 are considered here as new records for the Paraíba State. Annelids (Class Polychaeta) were the most representative taxa in Miramar and Seixas Beaches, while molluscs were dominant in Maceió Beach. This is the first study that includes an identification key, diagnostic features and distribution patterns worldwide and local (including new records) of the marine invertebrate fauna associated with rhodolith beds in northeast Brazil (State of Paraíba). Sampling events were performed in 2018, at low tide in the intertidal to shallow subtidal zones (1.5 and 4.0 m depth), in Miramar, Seixas and Maceió Beaches. A total of 17 species were found for the first time on Seixas Beach, as well as all identified species for Miramar and Maceió. This study tries to contribute to the knowledge of marine invertebrates in northeast Brazilian shallow habitats, providing a baseline for future environmental studies.

“…In Asia, Mytella strigata Hanley, 1843in Hanley (1842-1846 is considered an emerging invasive mussel species that has expanded from its native range in Central and South Americas to North America and Asia. Ballast waters of ship hull spread these mussel species (Spinuzzi et al, 2013;Rice et al, 2016;Mediodia et al, 2017;Vallejo et al, 2017;Lim et al, 2018;Biju Kumar et al, 2019;Jayachandran et al, 2019;Sanpanich and Wells, 2019).…”

Here, we report the first record of the invasive mussel species Mytella strigata Hanley, 1843 in Panguil Bay, southern Philippines confirmed through its conchological features. Mussels appeared in dense mats attached to rocks, wood, and substrate in the intertidal region in the innermost portion of the bay. Locals first noticed the species in late 2018, which, according to them, adversely affected their catches of mangrove crabs Scylla spp. and the Asian hard clam Meretrix meretrix Linnaeus, 1758. There is a need to ascertain the distribution of the species within the bay, investigate socio-ecological and economic impacts, and formulate monitoring, surveillance, and impact mitigation measures.
