%X In July (winter) of 1996 Undaria pinnatifida f. typica (Harvey) Suringar was found growing on basalt reef and rock/shell rubble in 2&#8211;4 m of water near Point Wilson, Port Phillip Bay, Victoria. The population grew prolifically over winter&#8211;spring with a density of up to 140 plants m-2, with sporophytes attaining a maximum length of approximately 800 mm. Size&#8211;frequency distributions of the population in September 1996 suggested that the population was actively recruiting, and examination of sporophylls indicated that plants reached reproductive maturity at a length of approximately 400 mm. Release of zoospores was achieved in the laboratory at temperatures between 10&#x02DA;C and 15&#x02DA;C, and gametophytes and immature sporophytes developed between 10&#x02DA;C and 20&#x02DA;C.
