## Abstract In marine invertebrates, as in most other organisms, normal development requires that only one sperm nucleus joins with the egg nucleus at fertilization. The principal mechanisms employed are (1) prevention of spermβegg plasma membrane fusion and (2) modifications of the egg extracellul

## Abstract Sperm are attracted by chemical substances which are released by the egg. This process is called chemotaxis. Several molecules that are involved in chemotactic signaling of sperm from marine invertebrates are described and a model of the signaling pathway is presented. We discuss the mo
The present study demonstrates the potential hydrolytic activities in the symbiont-containing tissues of the vent invertebrates Riftia pachyptila, Bathymodiolus thermophilus (collected in 1991 at the East Pacific Rise) and the shallow-water bivalve Lucinoma aequizonata (collected in 1991 from the Sa
The isolation and structure elucidation of marine sterols such as aplysterol (A),2 stelliferasterol (2)3 and strongylosterol (3)' represent the first evidence that bioalkylation5 of -the cholesterol side chain can occur at the terminus (C-27) as well as at the central positions 24 (and thence C-28),
