Objective In the framework of the Marine substances of biological interest programme, some fifteen metabolites isolated from lithistid sponges were isolated and showed strong antitumoral and antiviral activity. The cruise's objective is to collect sponges from this family again along Norfolk Ridge and directly isolate symbiont microorganisms on board. In spite of losing one day of the mission, the results were excellent, with about 25 organisms collected. The related programmes are: Dept. CVD - UR7, vector-borne diseases, natural substances programme.
