Abstract
Marine insects are constantly exposed to ultraviolet radiation. How the marine insect Hemiptera: Gerridae responds to UV stress and the molecular mechanisms underlying this adaptation are still unknown. This study analyzed the adaptability of marine insects that are constantly exposed to UV radiation by extracting anti-UV compounds produced by these marine insects. These marine insects have the ability to produce anti-UV B compounds and anti UV A compound with a high point of absorbance, because it is able to absorb UV-B (280 nm- 320 nm) with the highest absorbance value at point 4 with a wavelength of 280 nm - 300 nm, and is also capable to absorb
UV-A (320 nm – 400 nm) with the highest absorbance value at point 3.5 with a wavelength of 340 nm.
