Mytilus coruscus, common name the Korean mussel[1][2] or the hard-shelled mussel,[3] is a species of mussel, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Mytilidae. This species is heavily exploited as a food item via mariculture in Korea[1] and in China .[3] It is also a typical macrofouling organism.
Distribution and habitat

This species inhabits the coasts of the subtropical western Pacific Ocean, inhabiting temperate areas along the coastal waters of China , Japan , Korea, and the Far East of Russia . It is found in the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan, as far north as the Peter the Great Gulf.[2] This mussel generally inhabits the upper part of the sublittoral zone.[2] M. coruscus has also been found on debris near Vancouver Island, suspected to be from the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami.[4]
A chromosome-level genome of the hard-shelled mussel has been sequenced, with 14 chromosomes making up a total genome length of 1.57 Gb.[5]
