Estimating the Potential Production of the Brown Mussel Perna perna (Linnaeus, 1758) Reared in Three Tropical Bays by Different Methods of Condition Indices

Table 5

Condition Indices from different sites around the world. A comparative summary of the CI values (in different units) from different sites around the world obtained with the same methods used in this study. Results of the present study are also presented, showing the range observed over the three study areas. The sites are classified as polluted (Poll.) or unpolluted (Unpoll.) in accordance with the description of their respective papers. Original data from the cited papers that use different units were transformed to the same units used in the present study.
