Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Laboratory investigations of environmental factors controlling early development and larval survival of free-spawning marine invertebrates are often limited by the difficulty of inducing spawning under laboratory conditions. Patellid gastropod species must be dissected in order to obtain the gametes from the gonads, often yielding unfertilizable immature eggs. The artificial maturation of oocytes through NaOH-alkalinization methods was investigated in order to improve laboratory experiments on larval ecology of Patella depressa and Patella vulgata. Maturation was accelerated above pH 9.0. Alkalinizing oocytes at pH 9.5 significantly enhanced in vitro fertilization rates, especially at higher sperm concentrations. pH 10 was harmful to eggs. Sperm dilution experiments using alkalinized oocytes suggest the use of sperm concentrations proximate to 10(6) spermatozoa ml(-1). |
