Abstract

Dolabella auricularia, also known as the wedge sea hare, is a marine species which belongs to the gastropods. Dolabella is called the sea hare because it has rhinophores, the two rabbit-ears-like tentacles on the top of their head. These animals have secondary metabolites which are important in biomedical research. In addition, this animal is also known as an algae cropper, so that it is utilized in aquaculture to clean seawater systems. This short article describes the biological properties of it so that it becomes a marine biota that can be utilized in biomedicine and aquaculture.
