Alkaline Environmental pH Has No Effect on Ammonia Excretion in the Mudskipper Periophthalmodon schlosseri but Inhibits Ammonia Excretion in the Related Species Boleophthalmus boddaerti

Experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of alkaline environmental pH on urea and ammonia excretion rates and on tissue urea, ammonia, and free amino acid concentrations in two mudskippers, Periophthalmodon schlosseri and Boleophthalmus boddaerti. Periophthalomodon schlosseri is known to b...
