Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive isolation and reproductive output in two sympatric mussel species ( Mytilus edulis, M. trossulus ) and their hybrids from Newfoundland
TL;DR: Female and male hybrids between M. edulis and M. trossulus showed normal gonad development, ripening and spawning, providing an opportunity for the introgression of genes between the two species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent developments, status, and prospects of molluscan aquaculture on the Pacific coast of South America
TL;DR: A detailed review is given of recent developments, status, and prospects of molluscan aquaculture on the Pacific coast of South America and a detailed list of problem areas is given to form a basis for future research efforts.

Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation among life-history stages of mussels in a Mytilus edulis-M. trossulus hybrid zone
TL;DR: The mussel species Mytilus edulis L. and M. trossulus Gould coexist and hybridize throughout a large area that includes the north coast of Maine and Atlantic Canada, with genetic evidence for limited hybridization between the two species for mussels >15 mm.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCR-based nuclear and mtDNA markers and shell morphology as an approach to study the taxonomic status of the Chilean blue mussel, Mytilus chilensis (Bivalvia)
TL;DR: Molecular and morphometric data reported here give more evidence to support the view of other authors that the Chilean blue mussel should be included as M. edulis subspecies: Mytilus eduis chilensis.
