Data were normalized with the non-exposed controls, and presented as mean ± SD.

Percentage of recovery (R) was calculated based on the formula: R = (t1t2)/t1 × 100 for mortality and malformation, and R = (t2t1)/(1 − t1) × 100 for hatch where t1 are means of UVB treatment only, and t2 are means for treatment after UVA photo recovery; R was considered to be 0 when negative values occurred..
