## Abstract The metabolic alterations leading to accumulation of amino acids during the initial stages of acclimation to high salinity and anaerobiosis appear to be different in __Modiolus demissus demissus.__ First, the major metabolic event (activation of phosphenolpyruvate carboxykinase) does no

## Abstract During adaptation to an increase in ambient salinity (2β20 ppt) the estuarine clam __Rangia cuneata__ enlarges the pool of free amino acids in adductor muscle fibers by more than fiveβfold (>300 ΞΌM/gm dry wt). The process can occur under anaerobic conditions, but oxygen is critical to s
## 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
