Arsenic is incorporated by algae and transformed into reduced and methylated forms (see Section 7.5.2) which are nontoxic to phytoplankton but may be toxic to higher animals (Sanders and Riedel 1998, Edmonds and Francesconi 1998). The cope-pod Eurytemora affinis, barnacle Balanus improvisus and oyster Crassostrea virginica do not take As from water, but they do take it from phytoplankton (Sanders et al.

It has been shown that bromotyrosine-derived metabolites containing oxime substituents display antifouling activities against larval settlement of Balanus improvisus, and these observations were confirmed with synthetic analogs (Ortlepp et al, 2007).
