摘要: Marine opisthobranchs are mollusks scarcely protected by a shell which can be either reduced or completely absent. It is generally accepted that they possess chemical defenses (allelochemicals) against predators. These protective molecules derive from dietary habits (algae, sponges, tunicates, soft corals, etc.) and used in their intact form as derived metabolites. Added to this, other compounds biogenetically obtained. defensive very often concentrated the external parts of animal also released into mucous secretion deter The sea hares (order Anaspidea) slugs Nudibranchia) well studied. This review highlights allelochemicals reported Japanese anaspideans nudibranchs, with particular attention finding our group.
