Sex pheromones in marine polychaetes: steroids from ripe Nereis succinea
Abstract
A number of neutral marine steroids such as desmosterol, campesterol, brassicasterol, gorgosterol, and other trace steroids were isolated from the coelomic fluid of ripe Nereis succinea and checked for biological activity as sex pheromones on swarming specimens of Platynereis dumerilii and Nereis succinea. No significant influence of synthetic gorgosterol or a natural extract of gorgosterol or the other identified steroids on the swarming behavior was observed.
