Effects of oscillatory flow on fertilization in the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis.
Broadcast spawning invertebrates that live in shallow, high-energy coastal habitats are subjected to oscillatory water motion that creates unsteady flow fields above the surface of animals. The frequency of the oscillatory fluctuations is driven by the wave period, which will influence the stability...
