Abstract

In recent years devastation on coasts worldwide has led to barren grounds resulting in the loss of the natural population of many marine organisms and macrophytes. Furthermore, fishery resources such as abalone, fish and seaweeds have been depleted (Serisawa and Ohno, 1995). Since 1980, many fishery scientists and phycologists have tried to create artificial seaweed beds using various technique in order to recover lost seaweed beds (Ohno, 1993; Choi et al., 2000).
