The Mediterranean species Aplysia depilans harvested in Spain preferentially consumes the green alga Ulva lactuca, and stores in its skin a series of 16- and 17-membered macrolactones derived from polyunsaturated adds with 16 or 18 carbon atoms and bearing a hydroxyl group at position 15 or 16. Aplyolides A-E are aU idithyotoxic (Spinella et al, 1997a).
