Abstract
An estuarine population of Neomysis integer was exposed under continuous laboratory conditions to changes in salinity equivalent to the type of tidal change to which they were normally exposed. The resultant changes in the concentrations of their free amino acids were compared. Glycine, alanine, proline, glutamate and valine increased as salinity increased and time-course experiments showed that these changes occurred during the plateau periods of high-tide and low-tide and not during the ebb and flood phases of the cycle.
