Microfouling on biocidal and non-biocidal antifouling coatings
Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, 2015 Although antifouling marine paints have been used to prevent biofouling, not much is known about their effectiveness in preventing attachment of microorganisms.

Biofouling of inlet pipes affects water quality in running seawater aquaria and compromises sponge cell proliferation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Marine organism are often kept, cultured, and experimented on in running seawater aquaria. However, surprisingly little attention is given to the nutrient composition of the water flowing through these systems, which is generally assumed to equal in situ

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Tailwaters are ubiquitous and highly managed ecosystems whose food webs often rely disproportionately on autochthonous energy. In situ continuous dissolved oxygen data are increasingly being used to estimate gross primary productivity and ecosystem respiration in rivers, but this approach is complicated in tailwaters, where upriver ...

Bed‐level tools for monitoring erosion and accretion patterns: Flume validation and field testing
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Monitoring short‐term changes in surface sediment elevation is fundamental to understanding erosion, transport, and deposition dynamics in shallow coastal environments. However, commonly used field approaches, such as horizontal markers, sediment erosion tables, subsurface sediment plates, or erosion pins, are not always cross‐validated under ...

Electrically responsive knitted liquid crystal elastomer actuators for underwater applications
Responsive Materials, EarlyView.A knitted liquid crystal elastomer‐liquid metal (LM) actuator enables electrically driven soft robotics in water. Core–shell fibers are melt‐spun, knitted, and infused with LM to combine internal conductivity, external insulation, and programmable textile deformation.
