Abstract
Outdoor cultivation experiment was conducted with artificial seeds using free-living gametophytes and zoospores of Ecklonia cava to develop FLG (free-living gametophyte) seeding technique. Growth of thalli between FLG and zoospore seeding groups was compared monthly from May to October 2009 at culture farm in Wando, Korea. In September 2009, thalli in the FLG seeding experimental group were $35.9{\pm}0.8$ cm in length, $24.1{\pm}2.62$ g in weight, $2.32{\pm}0.26$ kg $m^{-1}$ in biomass and $22.0{\pm}2.8$ individuals $m^{-1}$ in density. There were no significant differences in length, weight, biomass and density between FLG and zoospore seeding group. Therefore, the FLG seeding technique could replace the zoospore seeding method which would eventually contribute in restoration and conservation of natural resources.
