In this study, the carotenoid profile of the echinoderm <em>Marthasterias glacialis</em> L. was established using HPLC-DAD-APCI-MS/MS equipped with a C<sub>30</sub> column. This approach rendered the identification of 20 compounds, eight of them reported for the first time in this marine organism. Differentiation of carotenoid isomers was also achieved.
