Evidence of abnormal differentiation of Paracentrotus lividus fertilized eggs contamined by zincethylenebisdithiocarbamate.
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.
