ABSTRACT
During summer 2014-2017, wild mytilid mussels, highly infested with the pathogenic Coccomyxa-like microalgae, were collected along the Estuary and northwestern part of Gulf of St. Lawrence (Québec, Canada). Molecular identification showed that algae can be assigned to a single taxon, Coccomyxa sp. (KJ372210), whereas hosts are represented by Mytilus edulis, M. trossulus and hybrid between these two species. This is the first record of M. trossulus and hybrid among hosts of this pathogenic alga. Our results are indicative of a possible widespread distribution of Coccomyxa sp. in the Lower St. Lawrence Estuary and along coastal waters of Canadian Maritime provinces.
