A new sphingosine (1) was isolated from the MeOH extract of a marine sponge Haliclona (Reniera) sp. by bioactivity-guided fractionation. The 1D and 2D NMR, and MS spectroscopic analyses were used to establish the planar structure of 1. The stereochemistry of the compound was defined on the basis of modified Mosher's method, comparison of optical rotation and NMR data with those of the reported. Compound 1 was mildly cytotoxic to a panel of five human solid tumor cell lines.

Two new marine sponges, Haliclona (Haliclona) tonggumiensis n. sp. and H. (Reniera) sinyeoensis n. sp., in the family Chalinidae were collected from Ulleungdo Island and Gageodo Island, Korea from 2007 to 2009. Haliclona (Haliclona) tonggumiensis n. sp. is similar to H. (H.) simulans (Johnston, 1842) in shape, but the former differs in its ectosomal skeleton structure and spicules' shape and size. The ectosomal skeleton of H. (H.) tonggumiensis n. sp. is absent, but that of H. (H.) simulans is very regularly arranged, and has tangential reticulation with oxea. The spicule shape of H. (H.) tonggumiensis n. sp. is slender, but that of H. (H.) simulans is short and cigar-shape. The new species have two sizes of oxea, but H. (H.) simulans has one size of oxea. Haliclona (Reniera) sinyeoensis n. sp. resembles H. (R.) tubifera (George and Wilson, 1919) in the growth form and choanosomal skeleton structure. However, the new species has two kinds of oxea in size, but H. (R.) tubifera has only one size.

Two new marine sponges in the family Chalinidae, Haliclona (Haliclona) uljinensis n. sp. and Haliclona (Reniera) hongdoensis n. sp., are collected from Uljin and Hongdo Island, Korea during 2004-2007. H. (H.) uljinensis n. sp. is closely related to H. (H.) oculata in type of spicules. However, ectosomal skeleton of H. (H.) uljinensis n. sp. is reticulated and isodictyal reticulated type but H. (H.) oculata has not any dermal specialization in skeleton. The growth form of H. (H.) uljinensis n. sp. is thin encrusting with numerous cylindrical tubes on the surface but H. (H.) oculata is solid branch form. Haliclona (R.) hongdoensis n. sp. is closely related to H. (R.) aquaeductus in skeletal structure and growth form. However, oxeas of H. (R.) hongdoensis n. sp. are larger than H. (R.) aquaeductus's.

울릉도 해산 해면류를 동정$\cdot$분류하기 위하여 2001년 7월부터 2003년 8월까지 울릉도 인근 지역 섬으로부터 SCUBA를 이용하여 채집한 표본을 동정하였다. 그 결과 2강 6목 12과 14속 19종으로 밝혀졌고, 이 가운데 유사보라해면 [Haliciona (Renera) permollisimilis (Hoshino, 1981)]이 한국미기록종으로 밝혀졌으며 울릉죠디아해면 (Geodia ulleungensis n. sp.)이 신종으로 밝혀졌다.
