Abstract
This study evaluated the seasonal nutrient content and trace element composition of the great Mediterranean scallop (Pecten jacobaeus), which is among the economic scallop species. The samples were obtained as by-catch from the trawler nets of commercial fishing boats operating in the Gulf of Antalya seasonally between 2017 and 2018. After determining the scallops' growth indices of the scallops; proximate composition, amino acid and element analyses were carried out. According to the results; condition index and gonadosomatic index were found highest in the summer, while meat yield was found highest in the autumn. The muscle tissue's crude protein and ash ratio decreased to mimimum values in summer. Crude fat was determined at the highest level in the spring and decreased after the summer when the reproduction period was over (P
