Natural antifouling compound production by microbes associated with marine macroorganisms — A review
Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2016 In the marine environment, all hard surfaces including marine macroorganims are colonized by microorganisms mainly from the surrounding environment. The microorganisms associated with marine macroorganisms offer tremendous potential for exploitation of ...

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.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The flapper skate, Dipturus intermedius (Parnell, 1837), is a large‐bodied, slow‐growing and late‐maturing, Critically Endangered elasmobranch with a constrained population distribution. Here, we use two longitudinal community science datasets to investigate the occurrence of flapper skates in Irish waters. The two datasets are as follows: the

New approaches to Marine Biofouling Control
International Journal on Applied Bio-Engineering, 2007 Biofouling control measures are dependant on the type of industry, type of industry, type of equipment, environment and the substratum. Cooling circuits of power plants invariably get fouled. Several biocides like chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone & organic biocides are being tried for fouling control.

The role of substrate materials for the survival and growth of coral micro‐fragment sheets
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Biofouling can have a negative impact on the survival and growth of corals in aquaculture. For coral aquaculture to support reef restoration, there needs to be a cost‐effective and efficient method that reduces the reliance on labor for coral maintenance.

Ocean and Coastal ResearchMaritime shipping has been recognized as the main pathway of species transference throughout the world. Ballast water or fouling on vessels have become the main vectors of aquatic species transportation between coastal marine ecosystems, which can lead ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction The flat oyster Ostrea angasi previously formed extensive reefs throughout temperate regions of Australia. These reefs were overharvested and destroyed after European colonization and have been functionally extinct for >150 years. While large‐scale subtidal O.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.
