Let K be a knot in S3 of genus g and let n > 0. We show that if rkHFK̂(K,g) < 2n+1 (where HFK̂ denotes knot Floer homology), in particular if K is an alternating knot such that the leading coefficient ag of its Alexander polynomial satisfies |ag| < 2n+1, then K has at most n pairwise disjoint nonisotopic genus g Seifert surfaces. For n = 1 this implies that K has a unique minimal genus Seifert surface up to isotopy.
