Introduction. The marine mussel Perumytilus purpuratus (Lamarck, 1819), an endemic species belonging to the Mytilidae family, forms extensive banks in the mid-intertidal rocky shores of the south-west coasts of South America (Guinez & Castilla, 1999).This species is known from intense intraspecific competition within multi-stratified matrices of individuals (Guiñez, 2005; Acevedo, Orellana The exceptional system allowing fathers to transmit their mitochondria to the offspring exists in some bivalves. Its taxonomic spread is poorly understood and new mitogenomic data are needed to fill the gap. Here, we present for the first time the two divergent mitogenomes from Chilean mussel Perumytilus purpuratus. A qualitative and quantitative study of the gametogenic cycle from natural populations of Perumytilus purpuratus at the localities of Taltal and Huasco was carried out between October 2007 and Distribución geográfica.

Perumytilus purpuratus is a good model for population studies because of its high capacity for habitat adaptation and broad latitudinal distribution throughout the Pacific Ocean, from Guayaquil in Ecuador (3ºS) to Cabo de Hornos (56ºS) in Chile (Zagal and Hermosilla 2001), and up Perumytilus is a monotypic genus of bivalves belonging to the family Mytilidae. The only species is Perumytilus purpuratus. The species is found in Southern America. References This page was last edited on 21 October 2021, at 01:20 (UTC).
