## 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
The changes in the free amino acid (FAA) levels, the rate of efflux of FAAs from the perfused liver, and the activity of some enzymes related to amino acid metabolism such as glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH, both reductive amination and oxidative deamination), glutamine synthetase (GS), aspartate amino
