Marennine and marennine-like pigments produced by certain diatom species of the genus Haslea are unique water-soluble compounds with several valuable properties. The exact chemical structure of these pigments has not been fully elucidated, but data on the physical and chemical characteristics of marennines have been obtained primarily for H. ostrearia. Over the past fifteen years, four additional species producing marennine have been identified, which opens up the opportunity to explore the dive
