title: Evidence of abnormal differentiation of Paracentrotus lividus fertilized eggs contamined by zincethylenebisdithiocarbamate.
abstract: Embryos of the Sea Urchin Paracentrotus lividus were incubated for different periods of time in various concentrations of Zinc-ethylenebisdithiocarbamate (ZINEB) in artificial (or natural) sea water. Dramatic developmental modifications have been observed after 48 hour treatment with 0.4 ug/ml ZINEB solution. The abnormalities concern the formation of spiculae.
