Spore attachment of Ulva fasciata on agar and agaroses coating films showed various surfaces properties according to concentrations of agar or agaroses or via methanol. The highest number of spore attachment occurred in Sigma agarose coating film. Spore attachment on Bacto agar and other agaroses coating films showed the (2∼36 times less than Sigma agarose coated film. Comparison of spore attachment on 2.5% and 5% SeaKem agarose and Bacto agar coating films differed in two concentrations while coating of 2.5% and 5% with NuSieve and Sigma agaroses did not differed. Spore attachment of coating made of 5% and 5% via 4% MeOH with Bacto agar and NuSieve agarose only differed. Overall, these results indicated agar and agarose coating films differed in spore attachment. Results of this work will be useful baseline for bioassay of antifouling activity of fouling organisms.
