"Omics" Techniques Used in Marine Biofouling Studies. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 Biofouling is the growth of organisms on wet surfaces. Biofouling includes micro- (bacteria and unicellular algae) and macrofouling (mussels, barnacles, tube worms, bryozoans, etc.) and is a major problem for industries.

The Role of Natural and Synthetic Flavonoids in the Prevention of Marine Biofouling [PDF]
Marine DrugsMarine biofouling is a major concern for the maritime industry, environment, and human health. Biocides which are currently used in marine coatings to prevent this phenomenon are toxic to the marine environment, and therefore a search for antifoulants ...

A Tunable Hyperspectral Imager for Detection and Quantification of Marine Biofouling on Coated Surfaces. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel), 2022 Fouling control coatings (FCCs) are used to prevent the accumulation of marine biofouling on, e.g., ship hulls, which causes increased fuel consumption and the global spread of non-indigenous species.
