Abstract
This study reports on the effect of PAF on sperm motility, fertilizati on and early embryo development in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus i ntermedius. PAF proved to be the amplifier of sperm motility acid fert ilizing capability at 10(-8)-10(-9) M and was toxic at higher concentr ations. BN 52201 did not counteract the PAF action. The advantages of using sea urchins for PAF research in embryology are discussed.
