The purpose of this report is to provide information on the reproductive cycle and recruitment of the mussel Mytilus edulis platensis, a species of commercial importance, in intertidal natural banks of a locality in the province of Santa Cruz. Between 2013 and 2015 biological sampling and seasonal and monthly population censuses of the species were conducted in a natural bank on muddy substrate and in another settled on rocky substrate in the interior of Bahia San Julian. In the laboratory, the total length of the individuals was determined, part of which was then processed by conventional histological techniques to determine the degree of maturity and gonadal development. Monthly zooplankton surveys were also carried out in order to detect the period of greatest concentration of mussel larvae in the water. As a result, a high degree of synchronism was observed in the gonadal maturity stages among individuals of Mytilus edulis platensis in Bahia San Julian; evacuation of gametes occurred from late spring until late summer; the larvae reached their greatest abundance in the plankton during February, when water temperature reached its maximum value; juveniles were incorporated into the population mainly during summer and autumn; abundance of juveniles was generally irregular over time and little predictable in the banks of Bahia San Julian.
