Study areas of mussel beds and surrounding intertidal sediments: epibenthic mussel beds were investigated in the Northeast Atlantic (North Sea, beds of Mytilus edulis, a) and in the Southeast Pacific (beds of Mytilus chilensis and Perumytilus purpuratus, b). Endobenthic mussel beds were studied in the West Pacific (Yellow Sea, beds of Musculista senhousia, c) and in the Indian Ocean (beds of Xenostrobus inconstans, d). Study sites are marked by an arrow
