The influence of antifouling practices on marine invasions
Biofouling, 2009Vessel hull-fouling is increasingly recognised as one of the major vectors for the transfer of marine non-indigenous species. For hundreds of years, copper (Cu) has been used as a primary biocide to prevent the establishment of fouling assemblages on ships' hulls.

Antifouling strategies for marine and riverine sensors
Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 2006Traditionally, water quality has been monitored by sampling and lab based analysis. However, there are disadvantages associated with this method, for example, deterioration of samples with time, limited sampling points, limited temporal monitoring. This has provided impetus for the development of sensors which can be deployed from remote locations over

Antifouling processes and toxicity effects of antifouling paints on marine environment. A review
Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2018The production infrastructure in aquaculture invariably is a complex assortment of submerged components with cages, nets, floats and ropes. Cages are generally made from polyamide or high density polyethylene (PEHD). All of these structures serve as surfaces for biofouling.

Antifouling marine natural products
Nat. Prod. Rep., 2011Covering: 2004 to June 2010 In this review, antifouling metabolites of marine bacteria and fungi, seaweeds, aquatic plants, and marine invertebrates are described. Also included are marine natural products that induce larval settlement, as well as those inhibiting bacterial quorum sensing and larval settlement.

Marine pollution from antifouling paint particles
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2010 Antifouling paint particles (APP) are generated during the maintenance of boats and are shed from abandoned structures and grounded ships. Although they afford a highly visible, colourful reflection of contamination in the vicinity of the source, little systematic study has been undertaken regarding the distribution, composition and effects of APP in ...

Antifouling Slippery Surface against Marine Biofouling
Langmuir, 2023Titanium and its alloys have become the most excellent structure materials for naval seawater pipelines due to their high strength and good corrosion resistance. However, marine biofouling poses a serious threat to titanium alloy piping systems because of their good biocompatibility.

Marine Biomaterials as Antifouling Agent
2015Water is one of the most essential elements to good health – it is necessary for the digestion and absorption of food, helps maintain proper muscle tone, supplies oxygen and nutrients to the cells, rids the body of wastes, and serves as a natural air conditioning system.

Persistence of Antifouling Agents in the Marine Biosphere
Environmental Science & Technology, 2002Risk indicators provide an interesting way to compare chemical substances with respect to the risks of their large-scaled release. The present study implies that, for antifouling agents used in commercial shipping, residence times in the marine biosphere are especially suitable to represent their inherent potential to cause exposure of organisms.

Antifouling biocides in discarded marine paint particles
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2010Antifouling paint fragments collected from marinas and leisure boat maintenance facilities and in the vicinity of abandoned boats have been chemically characterised. High concentrations of Cu (23-380mgg(-1)) and Zn (14-160mgg(-1)) in the samples (n=14) are consistent with the use of these metals in the principal biocidal and non-biocidal pigments in ...

Antifouling potential of the marine microalga Dunaliella salina
World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2014Marine organisms have usually been viewed as sources of environmentally friendly compounds with antifouling activity. We performed a series of operations to investigate the antifouling potential of the marine microalga Dunaliella salina. For the ethyl acetate crude extract, the antialgal activity was significant, and the EC50 value against Skeletonema ...
