The number of eggs discharged by female plants of Sargassum confusum was investigated for plants sampled at Shiribeshi off southwestern Hokkaido. The number of eggs discharged by a female plant was estimated to vary from 10E6 to 10E7. The number of reproductive cells of Fucales algae were few in comparison with that of Laminariales algae. It was suggested that Fucales algae such as Sargassum confusum were taxonomic group which has an ecological character of increasing the survival rate by producing few but large reproductive cell.
