Biofouling in Marine and Offshore

Offshore Technology Conference, 2013
Abstract This presentation will provide an introduction into internationally and nationally regulated biofouling issues. The risk for spread of invasive aquatic species (IAS) via fouling from ship's hulls / other under water structures or ballast water is being focused upon more and more.

Contact Angle Hysteresis, Adhesion, and Marine Biofouling

Langmuir, 2004
Adhesive and marine biofouling release properties of coatings containing surface-oriented perfluoroalkyl groups were investigated. These coatings were prepared by cross-linking a copolymer of 1H,1H,2H,2H-heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate and acrylic acid with a copolymer of poly(2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline) and methyl methacrylate at different molar ratios ...

Mini-review: Inhibition of biofouling by marine microorganisms

Biofouling, 2013
Any natural or artificial substratum exposed to seawater is quickly fouled by marine microorganisms and later by macrofouling species. Microfouling organisms on the surface of a substratum form heterogenic biofilms, which are composed of multiple species of heterotrophic bacteria, cyanobacteria, diatoms, protozoa and fungi.

Marine Biofouling Resistance of Polyurethane with Biodegradation and Hydrolyzation

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2014
We have prepared polyurethane with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) as the segments of the main chain and poly(triisopropylsilyl acrylate) (PTIPSA) as the side chains by a combination of radical polymerization and a condensation reaction. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation studies show that polyurethane can degrade in the presence of enzyme and the

Marine Biofouling on Fish Farms and Its Remediation

2004
The fish farming industry suffers significantly from the effects of biofouling. The fouling of cages and netting, which is costly to remove, is detrimental to fish health and yield and can cause equipment failure. With rapid expansion of the aquaculture industry, coupled with the tightening of legislation on the use of antifouling biocides, the ...

Laser Spectroscopy for Marine Biofouling Analysis

Global Oceans 2020: Singapore – U.S. Gulf Coast, 2020
In the present study, femtosecond Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy LIBS technique has been used to investigate the growth of biofouling on Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) panels submerged in the Indian Ocean for various stages of growth. The coupons were suspended in the Indian Ocean at a depth of 1m at a distance of 480 m from the shoreline.

A review on invasive species in marine biofouling

Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology, 2020
Biofouling has become worldwide threat in the recent years. Scientists’ researching on biofouling is on peak aboard. There are organisms which colonize the underwater surfaces of ships such as spores of algae, barnacles, seaweeds, etc. which uses manifold array of biological glues to provide adhesion which is the result of biofouling.

The role of “inert” surface chemistry in marine biofouling prevention

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2010
The settlement and colonization of marine organisms on submerged man-made surfaces is a major economic problem for many marine industries. The most apparent detrimental effects of biofouling are increased fuel consumption of ships, clogging of membranes and heat exchangers, disabled underwater sensors, and growth of biofoulers in aquaculture systems ...

Behavioural effects of biofouling in a marine copepod

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2000
The impact of biofouling by the filamentous bacteria Leucothrix mucor upon the body density and swimming behaviour of the harpacticoid copepod Tigriopus brevicornis was investigated. Biofouled individuals had a greater body density than non-fouled individuals.
