Bivalve mollusk Musculus cupreus (Gould, 1861) (Mytilidae), a possible invasive species in Russian waters
For the first time in the Russian waters of the Sea of Japan, the tropical-subtropical species of bivalve mollusk, Musculus cupreus (Gould, 1861), was found. An illustrated description of shells, synonymy, information on distribution and ecology are provided. An assumption is made about the probable introduction of M. cupreus into Peter the Great Bay.
