To investigate the natural defense of marine phytoplanktons against ultraviolet radiation, we designed automatic filtering systems to collect a lot of phytoplanktons during the cruise on Bosei-Maru of Tokai University. Annual oversea educational cruise 33, Tokai University is held on Feb. 15 to March 31 2002. These phytoplanktons were not classified and identified, but were analyzed for the presence of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs). Furthermore, five species of red algae were collected on September 7-8, 2002, using SCUBA (-15 to -18m) in the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, Australia. Three of these red algae contained MAAs. MAAs, which occur in diverse taxonomic groups and exhibit absorption maxima between 310 nm and 360 nm, may play a photoprotective role against solar ultraviolet (UV) exposure.
