The
zebrafish showed no signs of altered development due to the
levels of pH used in this experiment. This may
have occurred because the
embryos were not dechorionated. Perhaps dechorionating them
would have produced viable
results. As it stands zebrafish are impervious to the pH
levels that were used in this experiment. It almost certain
that much more acidic pH
levels would have drastic effects on the development of
zebrafish because the protein layers
of the embryos would be
disturbed.
