Underwater plant with gas-filled bladders (4)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for kelp that I've seen before include "Large brown seaweed used for manure" , "Brown seaweed with fluted leathery fronds" , "Type of finch" , "Type of seaweed" , "Algae" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
