Effects of biofouling on the sinking behavior of microplastics

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2017
Although plastic is ubiquitous in marine systems, our current knowledge of transport mechanisms is limited. Much of the plastic entering the ocean sinks; this is intuitively obvious for polymers such as polystyrene (PS), which have a greater density than

Quantifying Mussel Losses From Fish Predation on New Zealand Greenshell Mussel (Perna canaliculus) Farms

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
Fish predation causes significant Greenshell mussel losses in New Zealand. Experimental caging methods found losses due to predation up to 93% in juveniles (25 – 34 mm SL) over 67 days. However, the overall contribution of predation at other production stages remains unclear.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Electrochemical sensing of aerobic marine bacterial biofilms and the influence of nitric oxide attachment control

open access: yes, 2011
An attractive alternative to ineffective and inefficient biocide dosing strategies for seawater piping systems would be to monitor, quantitatively evaluate and then induce biofilm disruption when necessary using an environmentally friendly biocide.

Mini-Review: Antifouling Natural Products from Marine Microorganisms and Their Synthetic Analogs

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2017
Biofouling causes huge economic loss and generates serious ecological issues worldwide. Marine coatings incorporated with antifouling (AF) compounds are the most common practices to prevent biofouling.

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

An inter-site study of biofouling recruitment on static immersion panels in major ports of South East Asia and India

open access: yesASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development, 2018
Limited knowledge of native marine biodiversity hinders effective biodiversity management to safeguard South and Southeast Asia’s marine coastal environment against the threat of invasive species transfer through shipping.
