Biochemical Compositions of Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis L. 1819)in the Dardanelles

摘要

This study was carried out at three different location (Kepez Harbour, Kilya Bay and Canakkale Harbour) in the Dardanelles between October 1999 and July 2000. Obtained data revealed that while at lowest levels in December, dry meat rates were found at highest levels in February, hence carbohydrate (glycogen) rates reached highest levels and protein rates were at lowest levels in February. No significant differencies were found in biochemical parameters (protein, lipid, ash, carbohydrate) among three stations (p>0.05). According to the biochemical parameters, The data, also, indicated that biochemical parameters in the Dardanelles were convenient for mussel culture.
