Abstract
y-4,8,13,17-tetramethyl-4,8,12,16-eicosatetraenoic acid was isolated f rom a highly unpalatable brown alga Turbinaria ornata as a feeding det errent for another herbivorous gastropod Omphalius pfeifferi. The comp ound was confirmed to be a feeding inhibitor for the herbivorous green snail Turbo marumoratus found in the subtropical sea, as well.
