High metal contents in the fan mussel Pinna nobilis in the Balearic Archipelago (western Mediterranean Sea) and a review of concentrations in marine bivalves (Pinnidae)

Scientia Marina, 2016
Concentrations of metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn) in the marine bivalve Pinna nobilis at several coastal locations of Majorca and the Cabrera Islands (Mediterranean Sea) were investigated. The elevated concentrations of metals found in the soft tissues of

The M-type mitochondrial genome of hard-shelled mussel: Mytilus coruscus (Mytiloida, mytilidae) with phylogenetic consideration

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The complete mitochondrial genome of hard-shelled mussel was sequenced and annotated, it is 16,625 bp in length and contains 12 protein-coding genes (ATP8 is absent, as in most species in Mytilus), two ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes.
