Mytella guyanensis is a species of tropical saltwater mussel, marine bivalve molluscs in the family Mytilidae.[1][2][3][4] This species has been referred to colloquially as the “Trinidad Swamp Mussel” [5]—although not formally confirmed as the common name. It was first described in detail by the French naturalist Jean Baptiste Lamarck in 1819.[6]
