Effect of ZnQ2 on the swimming speed of Arbacia punctulata spermatozoa. Varying concentrations of ZnCU added to filtered Woods Hole seawater containing 107 ± 10% Arbacia punctulata spermatozoa elicit a biphasic dose-dependent response. Abscissa represents the zinc chloride concentrations added, in log moles per liter seawater/sperm suspensions; ordinate is the swim rate of treated sperm expressed as per cent of the control rate in sea- water. The points and ranges indicate the mean and standard deviations of individual deter- minations made on spermatozoa collected from three individual Arbacia. The incubation varied from 22-23° C on different Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
