Where do green lipped mussel live?

Green-lipped mussels (Perna canaliculus) are native to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where they thrive in intertidal and subtidal zones. They typically inhabit rocky substrates, estuaries, and areas with strong currents, which help supply them with nutrients. These mussels are often found in dense beds, adhering to rocks and other surfaces, and they prefer water temperatures ranging from 10 to 25 degrees Celsius.
