cycle, the condition index and meat yield of the </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">Arca noae </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;">Linnaeus,
1758 (Noah’s ark shell) were followed in Gerence Bay (Aegean Sea, Turkey),
between August 2009 and July 2010. Temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a,
particulate organic and inorganic matter were monitored during the sampling
period. According to histological observation, inactive stage was determined as
100% in September. The spawning period was observed through the year except
September, with a peak from April to June. Sex ratios were not equal and
females were dominant during the study period (2:1). Meat yield, condition
index and gonad index reveal a positive relationship between each other
(P≤0.05). Among environmental parameters, inverse relationship was only found
between particulate inorganic matter and reproduction (P≤0.05). </span> </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:’Arial Narrow’, sans-serif;"> </span> </p> <p> </p> </div>}, number={2}
