Abstract
ABSTRACT Vitality is a crucial element in the quality control of live scallops. Nevertheless, the effect of energy fluctuations resulting from the reproductive development of scallops on vitality during storage remains unclear. Changes in the biochemical composition of scallops throughout the year were analyzed, and live scallops with high and low glycogen were selected for dry storage. The results showed that glycogen content fluctuations ranged almost 20-fold between the highest and lowest levels. However, the other proximate composition did not change significantly. Notably, scallops with high glycogen exhibited high levels of ATP and maintained more stable vitality during dry storage.
