Abstract

Seasonal variations in energy content of liver. gonads and muscle, and the condition factor (K) of mature hake, were investigated. High energy content values were found in the liver after spawning and during thegonadal restingperiod. Lowenergycontent valuesin liverand highenergycontent values in gonads were observed during the gonadal growth period. In some periods of the reproductive cycle, low values of energy content of muscle were found.The condition factor profile was similar to the energy content profile of liver and muscle. Physicochemical and biochemical properties of actomyosin were monitored by reduced viscosity and Mg2+‐ATPase activity. The profiles of these properties were similar to that of the condition factor.
