Abstract
One hundred sixty genera of marine algae, invertebrates and tunicates reprented in Atlantic Canadian waters are known to contain chemically uncharacterised bioactive metabolites of potential chemotherapeutic or marine-ecologicla interest. There include antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, antitumor, cytotoxic, cardiovascular, hormonal, antifeedant, chemoresognition, chemoattractant, and ichthyotoxic principles. At present marine organisms are being viewed as potential sources of new biologically active (bioactive) products.
