Title Parthenogenetic activation and

Description Sea urchin eggs are ideal for parthenogenetic activation.
Eversince Hertwig and Hertwig (1887) successfully induced the
formation of fertilization membrane in Paracentrotus lividus by
the treatment of chloroform, many workers have induced parthenogenetic
activation in various sea urchin eggs both by physical
and chemical stimuli (Harvey, 1956). Parthenogenetically
activated eggs normally develop upto the pluteus stage; but
further development is reported to be very difficult (Ishikawa,
1975). In this experiment activation of sea urchin egg by
double treatment with butyric acid and hypertonic sea water is
described.
