Kurihara and Shirayama (2004)

Air and seawater CO2 concentrations were controlled by aerating the experiment chambers with air containing different concentrations of CO2. To study the effect on the fertilization rate, 300 eggs were randomly sampled from each 20 ml vial, cultured for 15 min after insemination, and the numbers of fertilized eggs were counted under a microscope. Fertilization was defined as the presence of a fertilization membrane.

Kurihara and Shirayama (2004)

Air and seawater CO2 concentrations were controlled by adding various quantities of HCl. To study the effect on the fertilization rate, 300 eggs were randomly sampled from each 20 ml vial, cultured for 15 min after insemination, and the numbers of fertilized eggs were counted under a microscope. Fertilization was defined as the presence of a fertilization membrane.
