Abstract

Volatile egg secretions of 15 species belonging to 5 families of the brown algal order Laminariales have been analyzed by high resolution glass capillary gas chromatography. 16 components have been identified and partially determined quantitatively. The composition of the pheromone bouquets and pheromone specificity for induction of spermatozoid-release and -chemotaxis are discussed in respect to ecophysiological functions and significance as chemo- taxonomic markers.
