Restoration of perennial beds of large macroalgae, e.g. kelp or Sargassum bed, with year-round vegetation is usually difficult under high grazing or browsing pressure by herbivorous fishes. Some species of small-sized macroalgae that have not yet been recognized as target species for restoration are known to contribute to the diet and the shelter of juvenile lobsters and turban shells on their nursery grounds, and to abalone and sea urchins as primary foods. Therefore, using small macroalgae would be significant for bed restoration in de-vegetated area. The unintentional restoration of beds of small macroalgae that we observed near Nagasaki city suggests that their reconstruction would be easier and more realistic than restoring beds of large macroalgae. If small macroalgae were included as target species for algal bed construction, it would contribute to more flexible and realistic algal bed restoration.
