ANTIFOULING ACTIVITY OF BACTERIA ASSOCIATED WITH SOFT CORAL Sarcophyton sp. AGAINST MARINE BIOFILMFORMING BACTERIA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Marine bacteria associated with soft coral Sarcophyton sp collected from vicinity of Peucang island, Ujung Kulon, West Java, were successfully screened for antifouling activity against marine biofilm-forming bacteria isolated from the surrounding ...

Prevention of marine biofouling for ocean instruments:

open access: yesJAMSTEC Report of Research and Development, 2009
現在, むつ研究所では, 海洋表層の二酸化炭素分圧の高密度観測を可能にする漂流型二酸化炭素分圧観測装置 (小型漂流ブイ) の開発を行なっている. 一般に, ブイなどを用いた中・長期の海洋観測では, 観測期間中に機器に生物付着が発生し, 装置の機能や能力を低下させる. 海洋では生物付着防止効果に優れた塗料の防汚剤として有機スズ (トリブチルスズ) が長く利用されてきたが, 海洋環境への負荷が明らかとなり, その使用が禁止された. 本報では, 防汚剤を使用せず塗膜表面物性を利用したシリコーン系防汚塗料が, 海洋観測機器にも利用出来るかを検討するため, 各種防汚塗料とともに防汚効果の比較試験を行なった.

Natural antifouling compound production by microbes associated with marine macroorganisms — A review

open access: yesElectronic 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 ...

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

Biofouling and its control for in situ lab-on-a-chip marine environmental sensors

open access: yes, 2012
Biofouling is the process by which biological organisms attach to surfaces in an aqueous environment. This occurs on nearly all surfaces in all natural aquatic environments, and can cause problems with the functioning of scientific equipment exposed to ...

Past, present and (possible) future of biofouling regulatory instruments within the international marine environmental protection framework

open access: yesEnvironmental Sciences Europe
Marine biofouling is associated with remarkable impacts for many maritime industries and is linked with major environmental concerns. Although national biofouling regulations have been issued by a few countries in the recent past, these remain isolated ...

Managing the risk of marine bioinvasion via biofouling: trends in methods of assessment, policy, and legislation

open access: yesOcean and Coastal Research
Maritime 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 ...

Holdfast adhesion in the kelp Alaria marginata: Cell wall polysaccharides and phenolics

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adhesion is a critical process in the survival of seaweeds, especially in wave‐swept environments. Kelp (Laminariales) sporophytes secrete adhesives from specialized rhizoid cells to anchor themselves to the substrate and withstand immense forces applied by waves.

Improving seed‐based restoration in Eelgrass (Zostera marina) in combined aquarium and field experiments

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seagrass restoration efforts are being implemented globally to accelerate the slow natural recolonization success. Among the various existing methods, seed‐based approaches offer the greatest scalability for species like Zostera marina, yet these methods remain undeveloped for a number of sub‐tidal systems like the Baltic Sea ...

Method development for enhanced antifouling testing using novel natural products against marine biofilms

open access: yes, 2012
Marine biofouling is the accumulation of organisms on underwater surfaces, causing increased ship hydrodynamic drag, which results in higher fuel consumption and decreased speed and range.
