Durvillaea antarctica, also known as cochayuyo and rimurapa, [1] is a large, robust species of southern bull kelp found on the coasts of Chile, southern New Zealand, and Macquarie Island.
Bull kelp is a common name for the brown alga Nereocystis luetkeana which is a true kelp in the family Laminariaceae. Species in the genus Durvillaea are also sometimes called "bull kelp", but this is just a shortening of the common name southern bull kelp .
The common name for Durvillaea is southern bull kelp, although this is often shortened to bull kelp, which can generate confusion with the North Pacific kelp species Nereocystis luetkeana. [8] [9] The genus is named after French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville (1790-1842). [10]

Blades from southern bull kelp (rimurapa in Māori) [1] [2] [3] species such as Durvillaea antarctica and D. poha (named after the pōhā) [4] [5] were used to construct the bags. [1] The kelp blades have a 'honeycomb' structure, [6] [7] which allows them to be split open, hollowed out (pōhā hau) and inflated into containers.
Nereocystis (Greek, 'mermaid's bladder') is a monotypic genus of subtidal kelp containing the species Nereocystis luetkeana. [1] Some English names include edible kelp, bull kelp, bullwhip kelp, ribbon kelp, bladder wrack, and variations of these names. [2]
The species can be confused with Durvillaea amatheiae, which has an overlapping geographic distribution. [1] [2] D. potatorum has a shorter, wider stipe with more limited lateral blade development, whereas D. amatheiae has a shorter, narrow stipe and typically prolific lateral blade development.
