Pieh (1936) and Maloeuf (1938) observed an increase in the respiration of M. edulis as this mussel was placed in dilute sea water. This was also true when the animals were returned to 100% sea water. Preliminary studies in this laboratory have shown a decrease in glycogen as R. cuneata is moved into higher salinities. These results may be interpreted as an indication of work being done in order to maintain osmotic equilibrium. At the same time carbohydrate is being used for energy purposes, the production of keto- acids provides a source of carbon chains for the formation of amino acids via transamination.
