Seasonal proximate composition of Ostrea edulis. The results, given as % of wet mass (WM), are expressed as means (n = 3) ± SD. Results from ANOVA showed significant differences between the means. In each row, the means that are not statistically different are indicated with the same letter (A, B, C) as a superscript (Tukey’s test, p < 0.05).
