PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for treating a seaweed culturing net, which is effected with an easy apparatus at a low cost without giving bad effect to the environment, and to provide bacillus to be used for the treatment.SOLUTION: This method for treating a seaweed culturing net includes charging a seaweed culturing net 10 into a treatment tank 1, pouring a treatment liquid W into the treatment tank 1 so as to soak the seaweed culturing net 10, blocking an opening of the treatment tank 1 with a cover member 2, and raising the temperature of the treatment liquid W in the treatment tank 1 to about 30-60°C. Furthermore, the method includes adding the treatment bacillus B to the treatment liquid W in the treatment tank 1, and performing operation of stirring the inside of the treatment tank 1, once to a few times in a day for about a few hours to one week so as to dissolve part or the whole of picked residue, and eliminate and remove the picked residue from the seaweed culturing nets 10, 10,...COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】 環境に悪影響を与えることなく簡単な設備で廉価に実施できる海藻養殖用網の処理方法及びその処理に用いる細菌を提供する。【解決手段】 処理槽1内に海藻養殖用網10を投入し、この処理槽1内に処理用液Wを海藻養殖用網10が浸るように流入させた後に、蓋部材2にて処理槽1の開口を塞止し、処理槽1内の処理用液Wを30℃~60℃程度まで昇温させる。そして、処理槽1内の処理用液Wに処理用細菌Bを添加し、1日に1~数回、処理槽1内を攪拌する操作を数時間~1週間程度行うことによって、摘取残渣の一部又は全部を分解し、海藻養殖用網10,10,…から摘取残渣を脱離・除去させる。【選択図】 図1
