Eggs of Louisiana herons, sandwich terns, and laughing gulls were oiled with either 0, 5, or 20 microliter of No. 2 fuel oil in the field and in the laboratory. After 5 days of natural incubation, field-oiled and control eggs were opened and embryonic mortality was determined. No. 2 fuel oil produced 61% mortality in Louisiana heron eggs, 56% in sandwich tern eggs, and 83% in laughing gull eggs. Hatching success of artificially incubated, oiled eggs appeared to be lower than in control eggs. However, stress during shipment to the laboratory and problems within the incubator probably contributed to reduced hatchability in both groups.
路易斯安那鹭、三趾鸥和笑鸥的蛋在野外和实验室中分别用0、5或20微升的2号燃料油进行涂油处理。经过5天的自然孵化后，打开野外涂油处理的蛋和对照蛋，确定胚胎死亡率。2号燃料油导致路易斯安那鹭蛋的死亡率为61%，三趾鸥蛋为56%，笑鸥蛋为83%。人工孵化的涂油蛋的孵化成功率似乎低于对照蛋。然而，运往实验室途中的应激以及孵化器内部的问题可能导致两组蛋的孵化率均降低。
