the relationship is not parasitic. Since biofouling can occur almost anywhere water is present, biofouling poses risks to a wide variety of objects such

technology that uses high frequency sound (ultrasound) to prevent or reduce biofouling on underwater structures, surfaces, and media. Ultrasound is high-frequency

barnacle are fished and eaten. Barnacles are economically significant as biofouling on ships, where they cause hydrodynamic drag, reducing efficiency. The

limited in its ability to remove more complex forms of fouling such as biofouling, scaling or adsorption to pore walls. These types of foulants require

usually attached to rocks and artificial structures, an example of marine biofouling. Halocynthia roretzi is adapted to cold water: it can survive in water

"principled decisions" in regard to the decision to introduce mandatory biofouling rules to prevent marine pests entering Australia, and for acting quickly

paint improves ship performance and durability as it reduces the rate of biofouling, the growth of organisms on the ship's hull. The TBT slowly leaches out

dramatically over the next few decades. Biofouling is one of the biggest problems in aquaculture. Biofouling occurs on non-copper materials in the marine
