Successful Sargassum bed formation in a “Isoyake” area by net transplantation of juveniles with small algae

Transplanted juveniles of the Sargassum spp were used to try to create Sargassum beds in the "Isoyake" Area of Nasa Bay in Tokushima Prefecture between 1996-2001. There were no juveniles of the next generation in the area until 1997 because of the high population of grazing herbivores. Fro...
