Matching Forces Applied in Underwater Hull Cleaning with Adhesion Strength of Marine Organisms

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016
Biofouling is detrimental to the hydrodynamic performance of ships. In spite of advances in hull coating technology, a ship must usually undergo underwater hull cleaning to remove biofouling during her in-service time.

Considering Commercial Vessels as Potential Vectors of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a troubling new disease that is spreading rapidly across the greater Caribbean region, but the etiological agent(s) and the mechanisms(s) of spread are both unknown.

The Trojan seahorse: neglecting biofouling management of vessel niche areas

Frontiers in Marine Science
Biofouling has detrimental impacts on vessel operations, greenhouse gas emissions, and marine environmental, economic, social, and cultural values through the spread of non-indigenous species.

Penambahan ekstrak larutan kulit mangrove pada cat minyak sebagai antifouling

Acta Aquatica, 2019
Abstrak Biofouling merupakan akumulasi pertumbuhan dari organisme laut yang hidupnya menempel pada material terendam oleh air laut. Akumulasi biofouling yang terjadi secara berkelanjutan dapat menimbulkan masalah baik secara ekonomis dan operasional ...

Experimental Determination of Added Hydrodynamic Resistance Caused by Marine Biofouling on Ships [PDF]

Transportation Research Procedia, 2016
AbstractAn extensive series of towing tests using flat plates covered with artificial barnacles were carried out at the Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory (KHL) at the University of Strathclyde. The tests were designed to examine the effect of the coverage percentage of barnacles on the resistance and effective power of ships, over a range of Reynolds ...

Impact of anthropogenic sounds (pile driving, drilling and vessels) on the development of model species involved in marine biofouling

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The uncontrolled colonization of benthic organisms on submerged surfaces, also called biofouling, causes severe damage in the shipping and aquaculture industries.

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Scalable low‐cost seabed landers: the missing link for sustained, integrated, long‐term observations in dynamic shallow seas

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Seabed landers, when equipped with a range of biotic and abiotic sensors, offer a non‐invasive and cost‐effective solution for ecosystem‐scale monitoring of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) and Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) in dynamic shallow seas.

Alien species established in the Bay of Biscay suggest significant contribution of both fouling and dry ship compartments

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionThe majority of studies on marine biosecurity focus on aquatic species, but invaders can also use dry ship compartments for dispersal; this pathway has been less explored than fouling or ballast water. Here we analysed the maritime traffic of
