✦ Synopsis
Intracellular pH (pHi) changes during anoxia in in vitro preparations of the posterior adductor muscle of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis and the byssus retractor muscle of the ribbed mussel Geukensia demissa were observed using phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. During 12 h of experimental anoxia, the pHi in M. edulis muscles fell from 6.96 to 6.70. Over the same time period, the pHi in G. demissa muscle fell from 6.95
