Abstract
Geochemical (shell elemental ratios) and genetic (microsatellite) population markers were used to discriminate green-lipped mussels collected from six sites along the west coast of the North Island. Discrimination of populations using ten microsatellite loci varied between 30-81% success, whereas geochemical markers varied by 88-100%. Moreover, populations separated by 4 km could discriminated from one another along this coast using geochemical methods.
