Sexual reactions iu algae, archegoniates at~ d certain fungi take place in liquid median1. Fnr ntany species it is known that gametes of one sex tltav be attracted by secretlotts of the gametes of the opposite sex| I i. Itl Ectocarpus silicuhm¢ s the receptive fem,', le gametes secrete a volatile, odorous substance which attracts male galtteles and induces them to change their norreal locomotion pattern to initiate tile sexual reaction. This substance, ectocarpen, is a hydrocarhon and was idcn! ified as SI-but-I'-enyl-2, 5-cycloheptadiene [21• Since the original work of Thtaet 131., t is~ eil known that spermatozoids of rite brown seaweed lqlt~ s serrants arc attracted by the eggs (fig. I a). Mter unsuccessful attempts by several workers to isolate the attraetant, Cook and Elvidge [41 succeeded when they realized that the compound was volatile; however, tile analytical techniques available at that time were insufficient t\u the identification of tire extremely small quantities of attractant. They reported tha! a large number of hydrocarbons C 5 to CI 1 as well as several aliphatic aldehydes and alcohols acted as; dtlactants. Using the techniques which had been sta~" ssl'ul in tile collection, isolation and chenlieal cha. acterization of the Ectc, carpus substance 121, we ate now able to identify the Fucus attractant, it is the c0tqugated hydrocarbtm I, 3.5-octatriene, CsIt 12"
