Abstract

Under varied experimental conditions young sea urchin larvae were subjected to the action of solutions of o-iodosobenzoic acid and LiCl in sea water. Cleavage and early development were found to be advanced by IBA, and retarded by lithium. The fusion of the pronuclei was strongly inhibited by lithium, which tends also to separate the blastomeres. The rate of fertilization was not appreciably influenced by either IBA or lithium in the concentrations tested.
