Biofouling sponges as natural eDNA samplers for marine vertebrate biodiversity monitoring.

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has now become a core approach in marine biodiversity research, which typically involves the collection of water or sediment samples.

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

open access: yesBiofilm
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 ...

Vessel biofouling management in Antarctica

open access: yes
Biofouling is the accumulation of marine organisms on submerged surfaces, which can facilitate the transport of organisms when biofouling grows on vessels or floating objects such as wood, plastic or kelp rafts. On vessels, biofouling has been identified

New approaches to Marine Biofouling Control

open access: yesInternational Journal on Applied Bio-Engineering, 2007
Biofouling control measures are dependant on the type of industry, type of industry, type of equipment, environment and the substratum. Cooling circuits of power plants invariably get fouled. Several biocides like chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone & organic biocides are being tried for fouling control.

Visible-light-activated Fe2O3–TiO2 nanoparticles enhance biofouling resistance of polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes against marine algae Chlorella vulgaris

open access: yesScientific Reports
This study investigated the modification of polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membranes with TiO2 and Fe2O3–TiO2 nanoparticles to enhance their hydrophilicity and biofouling resistance against the marine microalgae Chlorella vulgaris. It is a common

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.

Development and Field Testing of a Cavitation-Based Robotic Platform for Sustainable In-Water Hull Cleaning

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Biofouling on ship hulls significantly increases hydrodynamic drag, fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions, while also facilitating the spread of invasive species in regional and global waters, thereby threatening marine biodiversity.
