Abstract
The inorganic composition of the extrapallial fluids of Mercenaria mercenaria, Mytilus edulis and Crassostrea virginica was significantly different from sea water. Calcium was the principal ion bound in the extrapallial fluids. This binding was accomplished by a non-dialyzable component that appeared to be a glycoprotein.Entities:
