Effects of biofouling on the sinking behavior of microplastics
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

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.

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

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
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
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
