The action spectrum for the hatching ofArtemia cysts and the results of illumination experiments with decapsulated cysts suggest that a haempigment may be involved in light-induced hatching. The screening role of haematin is proposed. Starting from the assumption that haematin and the photoreceptor are both haempigments, we can attribute a hatching delaying or photoreceptor protective function to haematin.This work is part of F.K.F.O.
