Changes in intracellular free amino acids (FAA) in gill, mantle and adductor muscle tissue of the caged mussel, Elliptio complanata, exposed to contaminated environments / by K.E. Day, J.L. Metcalfe and...: En13-5/89-104E-PDF
"Intracellular tissue concentrations of free amino acids (FAA) were monitored in caged mussels (Elliptio complanata) exposed in situ for 27-29 d and 77-79 d to various point and non-point sources of pollution in the Yamaska River watershed (Quebec, Canada). Total concentrations of FAA (nmol/mg wet weight) increased above background or control levels in both mantle and adductor muscle tissue at sites impacted by agricultural runoff and urban effluent froni municipal sewage and light industries"--Abstract.
