High risk exotic species with respect to shellfish transports from the Oosterschelde to the Wadden Sea [PDF]
This study presents the results of a literature review on 11 exotic marine species that are present in the Oosterschelde and could potentially be introduced into the Wadden Sea with shellfish transfers.

The potential impact of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) on fisheries [PDF]
, 1986 The commercial development of ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) operations will involve some environmental perturbations for which there is no precedent experience. The pumping of very large volumes of warm surface water and cold deep water and its

Marine Biofouling and Fisheries
Marine Biofouling and FisheriesMarine biofouling occurs on the bottom of boats, fishing gear, nets and the surface of underwater construction materials, as well as on the surface of living and nonliving marine organisms. It causes great damage to marine and fisheries industries. This paper discusses some of the biology of marine biofouling organisms and the relationship between ...

Influence of Surface Topography on Marine Biofouling
, 2014 Marine biofouling, associated with the accumulation of marine colonizers on submerged surfaces, has been a longstanding problem. Among different surface properties, cell substrate interaction is strongly influenced by surface topographies. Therefore, in this work responses of representative marine fouling species were investigated in relation to ...

Study to determine the aquatic biological effects on the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) [PDF]
The surface of the reusable solid rocket boosters (SRB), which are jettisoned from the Shuttle Orbiter to parachute in the sea, are studied for colonization by marine life.

No harm, no foul?: Expert views on the future direction of marine antibiofouling technologies [PDF]
, 2016 The colonisation of submerged surfaces by marine fouling organisms is a global problem with impacts ranging from clogged pipelines and aquaculture nets through to hull fouling that increases fuel costs and green-house gas emissions and provide potential ...

Marine Renewable Energy Converters and Biofouling: A Review on Impacts and Prevention
, 2015 International audienceIn recent years, a number of studies have been performed to assess the damages caused by biofouling, which is simply the attachment of organisms to a surface in contact with water for a period of time. This explanation sounds fairly

Bioactive coatings to control marine biofouling
, 2009 The colonization of immersed surfaces by a myriad of marine organisms is a complex, multi-stage, species-specific process giving rise to economic and environmental costs. This unwanted accumulation of organisms in the marine environment, called biofouling, has been attacked from different fronts, going from the ‘problem-elimination-as-problem-solving ...
