Extract

A number of studies exist on the seasonal cycles of body weight and tissue biochemistry of several species of bivalve from the Clyde Sea area (Ansell & Trevallion, 1967; Ansell, 1974, et seq), including two members of the Pectinidae, namely Chlamys septemradiata (Müller) (Ansell, 1974) and Pecten maximus L. (Comely, 1974). Some comparative data are available for Chlamys opercularis (L.) from Manx waters (Soemodihardjo, 1974) and for P. maximus from the north Irish Sea (Stanley, 1967).
