    The ammonium ion (NH 4) content in the mantles, fins, arms, haemolymph, and buoyancy fluid of 17 species belonging to nine families was determined. Great individual variation of ammonium concentration was found in the buoyancy fluid of Liocranchia reinhardti (Steenstrup, 1856), i.e. 38-1108 mM, and in the vacuolized tissues of Histioteuthis macrohista N Voss, 1969, i.e. 50-775 mM
