Biomimicking Micropatterned Surfaces and Their Effect on Marine Biofouling
Langmuir, 2014 When synthetic materials are submerged in marine environments, dissolved matter and marine organisms attach to their surfaces by a process known as marine fouling. This phenomenon may lead to diminished material performance with detrimental consequences.

The impact and control of biofouling in marine aquaculture: a review [PDF]
Biofouling, 2012 Biofouling in marine aquaculture is a specific problem where both the target culture species and/or infrastructure are exposed to a diverse array of fouling organisms, with significant production impacts. In shellfish aquaculture the key impact is the direct fouling of stock causing physical damage, mechanical interference, biological competition and ...
