Abstract
This present study examines several questions that were not addressed by previous studies of South African Ecklonia maxima beds. Firstly, this thesis examined the distribution of kelp biomass, at various sites around the Cape Peninsula and on the west coast, and at different depths within sites. An attempt was made to calculate a single figure that could be used in determining the biomass of kelp beds.
