It has been established that the main components of the carotenoid fraction of an extract of Halocynthia aurantium are astaxanthin and diatoxanthin, the latter possessing a weak antioxidant activity.No prenylated hydroquinones, which are characteristic for colonial species of ascidians were detected in the four species of solitary ascidians from the Sea of Japan investigated.
