The green mussel
Perna viridis
has been receiving a lot of attention from workers working in the researchareas of intertidal ecology, aquaculture, pollution monitoring, biofouling, zoogeography and invasionbiology.
P. viridis
is a remarkable species in terms of its ability to reach very high biomass levels, towithstand environmental fluctuations, to concentrate a variety of organic and inorganic environmentalpollutants, to colonise artificial marine habitats and to invade new geographic territories. This reviewcollates data available on salient aspects of the distribution, biology and ecology of
P. viridis
. It is arguedthat the remarkable success of
P. viridis
as an invasive species basically stems from its long larval duration,fast growth rate, high fecundity, early maturity, high productivity and ability to withstand fluctuatingenvironmental conditions (temperature, salinity, water turbidity and pollutants). Relevant aspects of thedata are compared with the data available for a similar species
Perna perna
, which too is an invasive species,but to a more limited extent.
