ectocarpene
Sign in to saveEctocarpene is the rearrangement product of pre-ectocarpene, the sexual attractant, or pheromone, found with several species of brown algae (Phaeophyceae). Ectocarpene has a fruity scent and can be sensed by humans when millions of algae gametes swarm the seawater and the females start emitting the substance's precursor to attract the male gametes.
