Hydrogen sulfide production in response to 5 X [10.sup.-3] M 5HT was measured in gills exposed to either 1 mM propargylglycine (PAG), an inhibitor of cystathionine-[gamma]-lyase, or 1 mM aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA), an inhibitor of cystathionine-[beta]-synthase.

Hydrogen sulfide is synthesized in the gills of the clam Mercenaria mercenaria and acts seasonally to modulate branchial muscle contraction
