During summer 2014–2017, wild mytilid mussels, highly infested with the pathogenicCoccomyxa-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,Coccomyxasp.(KJ372210), whereas hosts are represented byMytilus edulis,M. trossulusand hybrid between these two species. This is the first record ofM. trossulusand hybrid among hosts of this pathogenic alga. Our results are indicative of a possible widespread distribution ofCoccomyxasp. in the Lower St. Lawrence Estuary and along coastal waters of Canadian Maritime provinces.
