Abstract
The green mussel Perna viridis has a wider distribution along the Indian coast, whereas brown mussel P. indica has very restricted distribution, along the southern tip of India, extending from Pondicherry to Cochin (Kuriakose & Nair, 1976). For the first time the occurrence of P. indica (Fig.1) is reported from the intertidal zone at Worli, Mumbai, thereby establishing the distribution of the species along the Maharashtra coast also.
