Biochemical changes during growth of the spat of the oyster,Ostrea edulisL.

Abstract
The biochemical composition of three batches ofOstrea edulisL. spat was determined during post-settlement growth. The spat were from spatfalls in January, March and June. For the first few months after settlement the neutral lipid (triglyceride) content was greater than the glycogen content. However, in three- to five-month-old spat the glycogen content became greater than that of neutral lipid.
