Fouling animals and their effect on the growth of silver-lip pearl oysters, Pinctada maxima (Jameson) in suspended culture

open access: yesAquaculture, 1997
A comparison was made of the growth of 1-year-old silver-lip (or gold-lip) pearl oysters, Pinctada maxima, cleaned every 2, 4 or 8 weeks or after 16 weeks. The diversity of fouling animals was recorded and their dry weight (DW) estimated.
