Taxonomic accounts are given to the four species of Corallinaceae, Amphiroa beauvoisii lamouroux, Jania yenoshimensis (Yendo) Yendo, Serraticardia maxima (Yendo) Silva and Corallina officinalis linnaeus, collected from Ullungdo Island, Korea. S. maxima (Y endo) Silva is introduced for the first time in Korea in this study. J. yenoshimensis (Yendo) Yendo accords well with the type speciemens but is very similar to J. arborescens in outer appearance. However it is distinguished from that in height and branching pattern. C. officinalis accords well with other plants collected from Europe and Japan except for large number of medullary cell layers.layers.

Taxonomic accounts are given to four species of Jania, Rhodophyta from Korea; J. adhaerens Lamouroux, J. nipponica (Yendo) Yendo, J. radiata (Yendo) Yendo and J. yenoshimensis (Yendo) Yendo. J. adhaerens is an epiphyte and characterized by massive tufts with decussate-dichotomous branches. J. nipponica growing on the rocks is different from other plants by erect tuft with low-angle dichotomous branches. J. radiata has a small epiphytic thallus (5 mm) and flat, flabellate-dichotomous branches. And J. yenoshimensis grows on the rocks in sublittoral regions and has compressed, fastigate, regular-dichotomous branches. This species is distinguished form others by the formation of slender moniliform branchlets. Among these, J. yenoshimensis is first reported in Korea in this study.

Growth and tetraspore release pattern of lithophyllum yessoense (Rhodophyta, Corallinaceae) were investigated from March 2000 to July 2001. Pinkish tetraspores were 40.2 $\pm$ 0.4 $\mu$m in diameter. After release, tetraspores attached on substrate shortly. Culture conditions were five temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25^{\circ}C), four irradiances (0, 20, 50, 100 $\mu$mol${\cdot}m^{-2}$${\cdot}s^{-1}$) and six salinities (0, 9, 17, 25, 34, 43 ppt). Maximum growth of gametophyte was occurred at $20^{\circ}C$, $20{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}$${\cdot}s^{-1}$, 16: 8h (L:D) and 34 put. Maximum relative growth rate was 0.1232 at $20^{\circ}C$. The amount of tetraspore release showed maximum at September as 266 cells per crust area ($cm^2$), and tetraspores did not release from January to March.

Corallina pilulifera (CP) is prevalent along the Korean coastline and belongs to the Corallinaceae family, exhibiting growth throughout all seasons. This study confirmed the role of calcium supplementation through CP, calcined CP (CCP), and a commercial calcium powder, highlighting variations in dosage within animal models induced by a calcium-deficient diet. Analysis of calcium absorption was conducted by assessing the serum and urine calcium levels during the feeding periods. Serum calcium content was significantly higher in the control group (CON, 9.79 mg/dL) than in the calcium-deficient model (CDM, 6.15 mg/dL). The calcium content of urine was significantly higher than that of CON (0.20 mg/dL) compared with CDM (0.08 mg/dL). Reticular bone thickness showed no significant differences between the CON and CDM groups. Additionally, micro-CT results demonstrated a reduction in the trabecular volume and a significant difference between the number of strands and the average interval of the reticular bone. In conclusion, CP serves as a promising source of calcium supplementation. Therefore, these findings emphasize that CP is of sufficient value as an industrial material related to calcium metabolism.
