Pathological manifestations of bioeroding sponges on the brown mussel, Perna indica were studied. The major manifestation was blister formation (46.3%). Nacre erosis was observed in 7.6% of the total infested population. Bifacial porosis was noted in 19.1% of infested shells; discolouration of shell was observed in 19.8 % and melanosis in 13.1 % of the infested population.
