COMMON NAMES

Cholga (Spanish)

Cholga mussel (Aulacomya atra) was incorrectly registered and is frequently reported as Aulacomya ater (WoRMS, 2015).

This species is widespread in South America, from southern Peru to southern Brazil (Castilla and Guinez, 2000). Mena et al. (2001) found high genetic similarity between populations from the XI and XII Chilean regions, indicating significant connectivity between different banks. However, the regional stock structure is not known.
