PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for creating a seaweed bed comprising employing seaweed seeds and seedlings for transplantation which can be easily attached to variously shaped creation structures such as artificial fish beds or covering blocks so as to rationalize workability and increase the fixing ratio of the seeds and seedlings.SOLUTION: The method for creating a seaweed bed comprises employing seaweed seeds and seedlings 1 formed so that small seaweed alga bodies 5 adhere to the head part 3 of a synthetic resin binding band 4 which holds a belt-like part 2 on one surface side of which sawtooth projections are formed and which can be curved in a loop-like shape, with the box-like head part 3 having a catching nail in its inside so as to be in a loop-like shape. The seaweed seeds and seedlings are put around hooks 12 of a creation structure 10 utilizing loop state-maintaining function of the binding band 4 to be attached. The small seaweed alga bodies 5 grow into adult ones on the creation structure 10, and circumferentially disperse zoospores and the like so as to create the seaweed bed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】人工魚礁や被覆ブロック等の各種形状の造成用構造物に対して、簡単に取り付けることができる移植用の海藻種苗を用いることで、作業性が合理化されるとともに、種苗の定着率が高い藻場造成方法を提供する。【解決手段】片面側に鋸歯状突起が形成されループ状に湾曲可能な帯状部2を、内部に係止爪を備えた箱状の頭部3でループ状態に保持する合成樹脂製結束バンド4の頭部3に、海藻の小藻体5を着生した構成の海藻種苗1を使用する藻場造成方法であって、結束バンド4のループ状保持機能を利用し、造成用構造物10のフック12に巻き付けて取り付ける。そして、この海藻の小藻体5が造成用構造物10上で成体となり、周囲に遊走子等を拡散することで藻場が造成される。【選択図】 図3
