Reef fish assemblages impacted by sponges overgrowing corals

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Numerous stressors are driving long‐term declines in coral cover on coral reefs, significantly impacting reef fish biodiversity and community structure. The benthic space made available by declining coral cover is often occupied by increases in other organisms, including macroalgae, encrusting ascidians, and sponges.

Spatiotemporal Forecasting of Mediterranean Blue Mussel Biofouling Settlement to Inform Aquaculture Management

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.
Mediterranean blue mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) settlement significantly influences aquaculture productivity and biofouling management in New Zealand's coastal waters due to its rapid colonization of farming infrastructure and its competitive interactions with cultivated species.

Research Progress on Metal‐Organic Framework Materials in Corrosion‐Resistant and Antimicrobial Metal Functional Coatings

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) hold significant potential across numerous advanced disciplines due to their exceptional properties, including high specific surface area, tunable porosity, structural diversity, and customizable functionality. Increasing attention has been directed toward employing MOFs in coatings that offer both antimicrobial

Affinity states of biocides determine bioavailability and release rates in marine paints

, 2015
A challenge for the next generation marine antifouling (AF) paints is to deliver minimum amounts of biocides to the environment. The candidate AF compound medetomidine is here shown to be released at very low concentrations, ie ng ml(-1) day(-1 ...

Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 356-372, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

The Occurrence of Microplastic Ingestion in Commercial Marine Fish in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastics are polymer‐based particle compositions of various toxic chemicals with size less than 5 mm. Due to their small size, microplastics can be ingested and accumulate in body tissues of organisms. This raises concerns about their toxicity being transferred to humans via food consumption.

A Guide to Developing a Biofouling Management Plan

, 2017
The development of biofouling on surfaces in the marine environment impacts operations and efficiency. A management plan is presented to enable an estimation of the risk posed by biofouling and a strategy to accommodate and control the problem.

Assessing the impact of UV-C exposure on pre-existing cultured marine diatom biofilms

Biofilm
Ultraviolet-C (UV–C) has been considered as a potential tool in the maintenance and prevention of marine biofouling. However, it is unclear how irradiation disturbs biofouling, specifically biofilms, or the duration and frequency needed to reduce or ...

Strategic Roadmap for Addressing Microplastic Pollution in the Global South: Bridging Monitoring Gaps, Harmonizing Methods, and Building Analytical Capacity

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...
