The above findings would challenge the classical view of marine food web energy flow from diatoms to fish by means of copepods if this defense would be an universal feature of diatoms. In field experiments monitoring diatom abundance (but not food uptake) and hatching success of copepods, only a few... 

The effects of decadienal (24) as well as of diatom extracts are not restricted to the reduction of copepod success. Low, micromolar concentrations of this compound also inhibits fertilization, embryogenesis, and hatching success in polychaetes and echinoderms. Crude diatom extracts as well as purified aldehydes inhibited these processes in a dose-dependent manner [80]. 

Eggs of the Jefferson salamander (Ambystoma jeffersonianum) from a series of ponds that contain 1 to 25 pg Cu/L have — at the higher copper concentrations — a reduction in hatching success and an increase in embryonic mortality (Home and Dunson 1995).

Arsenic or selenium at dose levels and forms given adversely affect mallard reproduction and duckling growth and survival. In mixtures, arsenic reduced selenium accumulation in liver and eggs and alleviated adverse affects of selenium on hatching success and embryo deformities...
