The present study was performed in Çanakkale Strait from September 2012 to August 2013.
Biochemical composition (protein, total lipid, moisture, and ash), condition index, and meat
yield of Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis in the net systems hung out the
open sea cage units monthly. The mean condition index and meat yield of M.
galloprovincialis were found 8.12±0.48 and 16.07±0.70%, respectively. A positive correlation
was found between condition index and protein, carbohydrate, and meat yield whereas a
negative correlation was seen between condition index and weight, length, lipid, moisture,
and ash. In terms of seasons, condition index and protein values were high in autumn, lipid
values in summer, and carbohydrate values in spring.
