: Marine mollusks are a prolific source of secondary metabolites with complex/diverse structures and various aspects of biological activities. For above mentioned reason, these animals have been being extensively explored and became the hotspot of research subject in the recent years. It is well documented that mollusks can escape from predation by utilizing bioactive metabolites as defensive chemicals. In the last decade, the possible diet relationship between the South China Sea mollusks and their related potential prey organisms, including sponges, corals, algae, etc. have been systematically investigated. A series of interesting results have been obtained concerning the chemistry, chemoecology and pharmacological profiles of the studied marine organisms. The present review focuses on recent development dealing with chemistry, chemoecology, and bioactivity of the South China Sea mollusks and their dietary organisms.

The study of populations of animals has received the attention of a large number of workers. Of these, however, but a few have been interested in the problem in its application to parasitic nematodes and in this field there is consequently a limited literature. Particularly is this so when the parasitic nematodes of sheep are considered, the incentive for study of which, in most cases, has been the pressing need for their destruction. This desire has been fulfilled to a greater or lesser degree, but at the expense of researches which would have contributed to a more fundamental knowledge of the ecological relationships of parasitic worms in general.
