    Abstract

    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.
