∙ 10y agoMussels live in the intertidal zone along coastal areas, mostly within temperate areas, although some are found in tropical climates as well. They are mostly found on exposed rock surfaces, or within crevices of rocks. Depending on the species, they can be found in sheltered bays, salt marshes, mangroves, or adjoining rough surf conditions.
There are also freshwater mussels which can inhabit waterways and lakes inland, as long as the water supply is permanent.

What leads to mussel population change?
Mussels are fiilter feeders, so any type of pollution in the water can lead to their population decreasing. Mussels also thrive on sunlight, which is why they live near the surface. When there is more algae in the water, it creates darker water and blocks out some of that sunlight. This can cause the mussels to die off.
