Perna canalicula
Mussels to 5 - 8cms. They seem to be plentiful in numbers. On the pylons of a jetty I noticed a huge cluster of baby mussels, approx 200. I hope it is a sustainable industry. Very popular with the locals to make their mussel fritters. Bag limit is 25 mussels per person.
Anchored to the substrate in amongst rocks or on rocky beaches. Pic 2 shows the typical area in which they are collected.
