Growth and sexual differentiation of the seaweed Porphyra pseudolinearis Ueda have been investigated monthly in the intertidal zone of the East Sea, Korea. Young blades of P. pseudolinearis appeared at the beginning of October. Carpospores were released at the end of November immediately after carposporangia formation. Then the thalli of P. pseudolinearis were extinguished at the end of March. Young thalli were budded through the stages of conchocelis and conchospore. Thalli showed lanceolate type in shape, cordate type in holdfast, absence of microscopic spinulate process and sexual generation. Ratios of length to width in female thalli ranged from 5.6 to 7.4 at the maturation in December and slightly decreased 3.3 to 4.8 in January and 4.9 to 7.3 in December while the ratios of male thalli ranged from 4.2 to 4.8 in January. On October 12, average five individuals were obsered in a quadrate (30 cm¡¿30 cm), 238¡¾18 individuals for the maturation stage in December and then it was reduced to 150 individuals in February and 15 individuals in March. Average sex ratios for female, male and vegetative thalli were 31.3% 46.9% and 21.9% respectively in early December, the beginning time of sex maturation. The sex ratio of female and male thalli in December 17, changed to 69.4%, 30.6% respectively.
