IT has been known since 19111 that the blood of certain species of ascidians contains organically bound vanadium. Bertrand2 has shown that most marine invertebrates contain between 0.2 and 2 parts per million of vanadium dry weight, whereas in ascidians the figure may be as high as 6,500 p.p.m. dry weight.

Colony specificity in Botrylloides leachi. II. Cellular aspects of the non-fusion reaction [PDF]
We continued our study on fusion and non-fusion reactions in the compound ascidian Botrylloides leachi with particular attention to the role of hemocytes in the induction of the strong cytotoxic reaction observed when genetically incompatible colonies ...

Ascidian investigations in Hillsborough Bay
The City of Tampa Bay Study Group has noticed high numbers of an anural solitary mogulid tunicate, of an unknown ascidian species, dominating some bottom communities of Hillsborough Bay during the winter. Ascidian concentrations have been found in excess
