Short summary

Based on the seasonal biochemical compositions in this study, the calorific contents of the food material were 1.0–6.1 Kcal m⁻³. We found that a major governing factor in the biochemical composition of POM was dissolved inorganic nitrogen loading from river input. The relatively larger amount of food material and the higher calorific content of the POM found in this study reflected good nutritive conditions for sustaining productive shellfish and fish populations in Gwangyang Bay, South Korea.
