Abstract
1. 1. Ammonia excreted by Artemia larvae fed increasing levels of different dietary purines was measured. 2. 2. Ammonia excretion rates were affected both by quality and quantity of purines in the axenic culture medium. The effect of quality appears predominant while that of quantity is ascribable to its effects on growth rates. 3. 3. For identical growth rates, ammonia excretion rates were affected by the adenylic acid: cytidylic acid ratio. 4. 4. Results indicate that deaminative and uricolytic systems are operative for ammoniogenesis in Artemia.
