Chemical Defenses of Ascidians Against Predators
1980
Stoecker, Diane
Many benthic ascidians lack strong mechanical defenses but are relatively free from predation; chemical defenses against predators are important in certain species. A number of ascidians have highly acidic tunic fluids (pH ≤ 2) which deter predators. The high vanadium content (≥100 mg/g wet mass) of some ascidians reduces their palatability to predators.
