The agent is added to seawater in a water-tank, etc., at an amount to give an active component concentration of 2-200ppm and a laver net infected with chytrid blight is e.g. immersed in the seawater for a short time to effect the control of the blight. The above controlling agent may be incorporated withother agent for controlling miscellaneous algae, disinfectant, nutrition agent, etc. EFFECT:The above controlling agent exhibits remarkable controlling effect against chytrid blight of laver and is harmless to laver and highly safe to man and animal.
