Description During a field visit to study the molluscan diversity
along Maharashtra coast, unusual clusters of small sized
mussels were observed. The mussels which were collected from Vashi creek were identified as Mytilopsis sallei (Recluz, 1849) and the mussels which were collected
from Murud were identified as Modiolus undulalus (Dunker).
During each visit, samples were collected during lowest
of low tide using a 15x15 cm^ quadrant randomly placed
on the substratum about 0.5 m indepth and all mussels
from the quadrate were removed.
