Abstract (en)
The byssate false mussel Mytilopsis sp. was identified for the first time in the Cayman Islands in May 2018. It occurred in the mangrove backwaters on the northern coast of Grand Cayman in great abundance. Mytilopsis spp. are highly invasive in many semi-tropical to tropical regions globally and are almost certainly spread by vessels. Identification of Mytilopsis species is difficult, as previously used morphological identification characters are highly variable and so, here we report on its occurrence in Grand Cayman, likely further spread and discuss the difficulties in its identification.
