Summary 1. Juvenile kelp mediated the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II), by separation from the chelate external to the blade. 2. Kelp reduction of Fe(III) was enhanced by light. 3. Photoreduction contributed to reduction rates. 4. The rate of Fe(III) reduction per unit surface area for juvenile Macrocystis pyrifera was 9.14 \sx 10\t-11 moles Fe(III) cm\t-2 d\t-1.
