Marine mussels Mytilus are broadly distributed in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Their present geographic distribution is a result of natural paleo-geographic processes related to paleo-climatic changes as well as to human activities, such as mariculture and transportation of balast waters by ships, which have facilitated their expansion. Mussel larvae can survive up to three weeks in pelagic waters prior to settling. In some areas such as South Africa, North and South America, Sea of Japan, Australia and New Zealand, artificially introduced mussel species co-exist or compete with native species. This project aims to discover new molecular markers based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and use these to investigate the biogeography of marine mussels. This will enable the development of molecular tests, to be applied in the identification of the geographical origin of shipments, and taxonomic status of mussels and their food products, including those available in shops in Poland.
