This observation agrees with the general trend noted by Emlet el al. (in press) between decreased temperatures (and increased latitudes) and increased time to metamorphosis for echinoids with planktotrophic larvae. Because factors unrelated to temperature may influence rates of post-embryonic development (, larval food and density, Kume and Dan, 1968; Hinegardner, 1969), we critically compared the rates of embryonic development to the hatched blastula stage at different temperatures, both of Sterechinus neumaveri and other sea urchin species with planktotrophic larvae within the families Echinidae and Strongy- locentrotidae. Time to hatching ranged from a minimum of 13 hours at 25-27°C in the tropical species Strongylocentrotus pulcherrimu
