Salinity Effects on Sea Urchin Development by ChichoSaltos is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a study that examined the effects of salinity on embryonic and early larval development of the tropical sea urchin Salmacis sphaeroides. The study tested 7 salinity treatments ranging from 15 to 45 PSU and found that fertilization success was highest at 30 PSU and lowest at 15 PSU. Development times to reach embryonic and larval stages increased as salinity deviated from 30 PSU to 25 and 35 PSU. Morphometric measurements of prism, 2-arm, and 4-arm larvae showed no significant differ
