I am posting this for a friend of mine who doesn't have access to USENET, so please respond directly to mlevin@jade.tufts.edu. Does anyone have any idea how I could find out (look it up in some manual, or measure it myself) the resistivity of a sea-urchin (or any other marine animal) egg? I would settle for an estimate, or a ball-park figure of the resistivity of any sea-water egg or embryo. Anyone have any ideas? Has anyone seen any related figures at all?

I would settle for an estimate, or a Resistivity of the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm, what? I think that Kenneth S. Cole in his book _Membranes Ions and Impulses_ discusses various electrical properties of more than one species of sea urchin's egg. The book should be at your local med school library.
