Effect of microgravity on the development of embryos/larvae and the larval esophageal musculature of the purple starfish, Pisaster ochraceus

Abstract: Early gastrula stage embryos of the purple starfish, Pisaster ochraceus, were raised for 10 days in microgravity (µG) in an Aquatic Research Facility aboard the space shuttle Endeavour (STS 77). Controls consisted of embryos raised at 1 × g (1G) in flight and embryos raised at 1G on the ground. Experimental organisms and controls were fixed on mission days (MD) 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 and one sample was returned alive. Comparison of the µG embryos with the 1G in-flight controls and ground controls suggests that ther… Show more
