In the mantle of the female sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis seasonal variations in the adenylate cyclase activity correlate with gonadal development. Two peaks of adenylate cyclase activity were found in spring and autumn, both periods of gonadal development. The lowest enzymatic activities were in summer, a gonadal resting period.
