The phrase "a delay in hatching" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the timing of the hatching process, particularly in relation to eggs or similar contexts.
Example: "Due to the cold weather, there was a delay in hatching for the turtle eggs."
Alternatives: "a postponement in hatching" or "a holdup in hatching".
Embryos treated with all Pb concentrations ≥ 5,000 ppb demonstrated a significant delay in hatching compared with controls (p ≤ 0.05).
Each group of embryos treated with concentrations ≥ 5,000 ppb demonstrated a significant delay in hatching and increased mortality.
Nonetheless, the possibility of trapping following multiple breaching, and a delay in completion of hatching as was seen in these experiments, is of concern, whether the zona is intact or thinned.
Our data indicated that in Japanese rice fish, ethanol disrupted the expression of only cnr1a in a concentration-dependent manner that induced delay in hatching and might be responsible for the development of FASD phenotypes.
Nonetheless, even if the significant shortening of the hatching process after zona opening in the mouse is considered an advantageous alteration of the normal process, it is unclear whether the delay in hatching after zona thinning (on average, 8.5 h later than zona-intact controls) should be considered detrimental but it does suggest a disruption of the process.
While there was recorded delay in hatching time after exposure of zebrafish embryos to DCF at 1, 1.5, and 2 mg·L−1 [ 32, 33], no negative effects of DCF up to concentration of 3 mg·L−1 on the hatching and viability of carp embryos were found [ 34].
In C. elegans, daf-2 RNAi initiated at egg hatching caused a delay in reproduction, whereas daf-2 RNAi during adulthood had no effect (Dillin et al., 2002).
Late applications or a delay in PC management during cool years of prolonged bloom, will allow EAS larva to hatch and begin feeding, giving rise to apple injury.
