Water and ion balance in the prosobranch limpet Acmaea scutum

The major aspect of this study was to evaluate the effect of changes in external salinity on the concentrations of Na⁺, C1ˉ , K⁺, Ca⁺⁺, and Mg⁺⁺ in the blood, urine, and foot muscle cells of Acmaea scutum. To estimate intracellular ion values, measurements of muscle tissue ion values and the extrac...
