Abstract

Of six tissues sampled from the osmoregulating clam Rangia cuneata, mantle contained the highest concentration of Na^+^+K^+^‐ATPase activity and ouabain binding sites. Acclimation to low salinities was accompanied by adaptive increases in Na^+^+K^+^‐ATPase activity in mantle but not in gill. Since the number of ouabain binding sites did not show parallel increases, the mechanism of acclimation to reduced salinity in Rangia appears to involve activation of pre‐existing pump sites in the mantle epithelium.

Although Na+ +K+-dependent ATPase, the enzymatic equivalent of the sodium pump, is thought to be restricted to the basolateral membrane of nearly all ion-transporting epithelial cells, its absence from basolateral membranes of crustacean epithelia andlor its presence in apical membranes have been su

## Abstract During adaptation to low salinity (from 20 to 2 ppt), the estuarine clam __Rangia cuneata__ reduces the size of a pool of free amino acids in adductor muscle fibers, presumably to control cell volume. The levels of both free amino acids and ammonia in the blood increase, but the rise in
