Plants ofGracilariasp.(chordatype), which grow along the coast of Uranouchi Inlet in Tosa Bay, southern Japan, showed the highest biomass in the summer (26 °C to 31 °C) and spring season (15.1 °C to 24.9 °C). Maximum biomass was 6952 g m−2in July, but gradually decreased in the autumn (30.5 °C in September to 20 °C in November) and winter (19.5 °C in December to 14.9 °C in February). Variation in yields and gel strength of the agars, were shown to depend on the time in the season. After alkali treatment (5% NaOH, 2 h) at three different temperatures (70, 80, and 90 °C), the agars showed gel strengths essentially that of commercial grade agars, with the best gel obtained at 80 °C. Maximum gel strength (1455 g cm−2of 1.5% agar gel) occurred in winter when the biomass and agar yield were low. Minimum gel strength was in spring. Gel strength was inversely correlated with agar yield, but was positively correlated with apparent viscosity. Maximum viscosity was 40 cP. in December. Gelling temperatures, pH of 1.5% agar gel, and moisture content in agars showed little variation.
