THE INORGANIC COMPOSITION OF MOLLUSCAN EXTRAPALLIAL FLUID

MILES A. CRENSHAW 1

1 Forsyth Dental Center, Boston, Massachusetts and Dental Research Center, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina

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.
