The objective of the present study was carried out to clarify the effects of deep sea water on the growth and maturation of $Porphyra$ (Rhodophyta, Bangiales). Foliose thalli for indoor culture were collected from Yeongok ($P.$ $okamurae$) in Gangwon Prefecture, Tongyeong ($P.$ $suborbiculata$ f. $latifolia$) and Namhae ($P.$ $yezoensis$ f. $narawaensis$) in Gyongnam Prefecture respectively. Monospores were cultured at five temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20 and $25^{\circ}C$) with a photon irradiance of $80{\mu}m^{-2}s^{-1}$ under photoperiods of 14L:10D and 10L:14D in surface, deep and mixed seawater in respectively. The fast growth of foliose thalli were observed in $P.$ $suborbiculata$ f. $latifolia$ cultured at deep seawater under $15^{\circ}C$ and 10L:14D. In three species, the optimum growth occurred at 10 and $15^{\circ}C$ under deep and mixed seawater and short day-length. In general, monospores from the cultured thalli were liberated within three weeks after incubation under $10-25^{\circ}C$ and both photoperiods. From the result of this study, deep seawater is considered that the natural species of the genus $Porphyra$ can be useful for the development as the new cultivars.

Mature foliose thalli of P. suborbiculata f. Iatifalia were collected at Chindo, Chonnam Prefecture on 24 February 1996. Growth and reproduction were observed at selected temperatures (5~30tt photon flux densities (10-80 ${\mu}$mol m$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$) and photoperiods (14L:I00, 10L:140). The thalli grew fastest at 15 t under both photoperiods and produced archeospores at 10-$25^{\circ}C$ under both photoperiods, but zygotospores at 10-15$^{\circ}C$ under 10L:140 and at only 15$^{\circ}C$: under 14L:I00. Size and shape of the thalli at 1$0^{\circ}C$: under short photoperiod were similar to the field materials. The optimum temperature and photoperiod for growth of the conchocelis colony were 20-$25^{\circ}C$: under both photoperiods. The foliose thalli and the conchocelis filaments could not survive at 30 t. Conchosporangial branches were produced at 15-$25^{\circ}C$ under 14L:100 and 10L:140.
