The development and physiology of the hatching mechanism were examined in F. heteroclitus. Histological examination of the hatching glands revealed that they became differentiated on or about day 5 of development. By day 7 the glands took on a granular appearance which was correlated with the first appearance of chorionase. From days 7-10, growth of the glands and their increase in chorionase content were exponential. Cell size and chorionase activity peaked on day 10 and remained constant until hatching. The effects of several drugs were tested for their effects on hatching. Epinephrine and low concentrations of MS-222 [ethyl-m-aminobenzoate methanesulfonate], in conjunction with low O2 concentration, advanced the median hatching date of eggs (HD50). Tubocurarine, high concentrations of MS-222 and atropine inhibited hatching completely, as did transection of the hind brain. A respiratory stress response linked to chorionase release during normal hatching was hypothesized.
