  • Charru mussel is an invasive mussel native to the South and Central American coasts.
  • It is spreading quickly in the backwaters of Kerala, elbowing out other mussel.
  • The rapid spread of the Charru mussel (Mytella strigata) may have been triggered by Cyclone Ockhi which struck the region in 2017.
