The relationship between age and morphology of Ecklonia cava Kjellman (Laminariales, Phaeophyta) sporophytes were studied seasonally in 1996 in a population off the Tei coast in Tosa Bay, southern Japan. Based on measurement of the growth rings, a small number of 3-year-old sporophytes were confi rmed. The mean values of stipe length and diameter of each age group during the investigation period was follows; 7.2-18.4 cm and 4.6-7.5 mm in the 0-year-olds; 3.4-12.6 cm and 7.7-10.2 mm in the 1-year-olds; 5.9-13.7 cm and 10.3-13.4 mm in the 2-year-olds. Primary blade length, primary blade width, number of bladelets and longest bladelet length of each age group was as follows; 18.5-32.8 cm, 4.6-6.2cm, 9-21 pieces and 10.6-23.8 cm, respectively in the 0-year-olds; 22.0-39.1 cm, 5.5-6.9 cm, 14-27 pieces and 20.1-34.9 cm, respectively in the 1-year-olds; 9.6-25.6 cm, 5.8-8.1 cm, 17-30 pieces and 32.5-40.3 cm, respectively in the 2-year-olds. Thus, all biometric parameters except for primary blade length increased with age, but these values overlapped with each age group and they did not separate clearly.
