Résumé

Lithothamnion glaciale, Phymatolithon laevigatum, P. rugulosum and Corallina officinalis induced >85% of laboratory-reared larvae of S. droebachiensis to metamorphose. Larvae must contact live L. glaciale or its spores for metamorphosis to occur but aqueous extracts of L. glaciale can induce metamorphosis, suggesting that the inducing factor is chemical. -from Authors
