Mytilus edulis. Relationship between mean winter (Dec, Jan, Feb) water temperature (T, in °C) and proportion (pr, in %) of second-growing-season (spring/summer) production lost in subsequent part of the year (till March). Linear fit: pr = −2.8 + 3.7 T (n = 19, r = +0.59, P < 0.01). Years (19 out of 26) were included only if the spring/summer production had been >0.1 g AFDM m−2
