"Seasonal changes in meat yield were studied in cultivated blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) from a suspended culture system in a shallow (5 m) location in Malpeque Bay, P.E.I. Changes were observed through different types of condition indices Maximum values, nearly 2 times greater than the minimum values were reached just prior to spawning. After a rapid decrease during spawning, condition gradually improved during summer and fall before falling to low 'winter' levels. Seasonal changes in meat yield are important factors to two aspects of mussel cultivation, spat collection and harvest optimisation. In 1980 there was one spawning period at the experimental site, during June. Condition was highest during the latter part of the summer and early fall"--Abstract, page iv.
