Marine Biofouling and Fisheries

Marine Biofouling and Fisheries
Marine 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 ...

The Role of Vessel Biofouling in the Translocation of Marine Pathogens: Management Considerations and Challenges

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Vessel biofouling is a major pathway for the introduction, establishment, and subsequent spread of marine non-indigenous macro-organisms. As a result, national and international regulations and guidelines have been implemented to manage the risks ...

Marine Antimicrobial Peptides-Based Strategies for Tackling Bacterial Biofilm and Biofouling Challenges

Molecules, 2022
An assemblage nexus of microorganisms enclosed in a composite extracellular polymeric matrix is called as a biofilm. The main factor causing biological fouling, or biofouling, is biofilms. Biofilm-mediated biofouling is a significant detrimental issue in

The Isolation of Anaerobic and Facultative Anaerobic Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB) and a Comparison of Related Enzymes in Their Sulfate Reduction Pathways

Microorganisms, 2023
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are an important group of microorganisms that cause microbial corrosion. In this study, culturable SRB were isolated and identified from the inner rust layer of three kinds of steel and from sediments, and a comparison of ...

Impact of hydrodynamics on community structure and metabolic production of marine biofouling formed in a highly energetic estuary.

Marine Environmental Research, 2023
Biofouling is a specific lifestyle including both marine prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities. Hydrodynamics are poorly studied parameters affecting biofouling formation. This study aimed to investigate how water dynamics in the Etel Estuary (Northwest

Marine biofouling organisms on beached, buoyant and benthic plastic debris in the Catalan Sea.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022
Plastic debris provides long-lasting substrates for benthic organisms, thus acting as a potential vector for their dispersion. Its interaction with these colonizers is, however, still poorly known.

Modern approaches to marine antifouling coatings [PDF]

, 2006
Marine structures such as platforms, jetties and ship hulls are subject to diverse and severe biofouling. Methods for inhibiting both organic and inorganic growth on wetted substrates are varied but most antifouling systems take the form of protective ...

Nanocoating Is a New Way for Biofouling Prevention

Frontiers in Nanotechnology, 2021
Biofouling is a major concern to the maritime industry. Biofouling increases fuel consumption, accelerates corrosion, clogs membranes and pipes, and reduces the buoyancy of marine installations, such as ships, platforms, and nets.
