There are a large number of fouling organisms in the ocean, which easily attach to the
surface of ships, oil platforms and breeding facilities, corrode the surface of equipment …

Marine biofouling remains one of the key challenges for maritime industries, both for
seafaring and stationary structures. Currently used biocide-based approaches suffer from …

Marine fouling is a worldwide problem, which is harmful to the global marine ecological
environment and economic benefits. The traditional antifouling strategy usually uses toxic …

This review presents a comprehensive compilation of toxicological and environmental data,
further used to assess the ecological risk (ERA) of the 11 EU approved antifouling biocides …

Two hybrid back-propagation neural network (BPNN) models optimized by two heuristic
search algorithms, namely genetic algorithm (GA-BP) and particle swarm optimization (PSO …

Pesticides are ubiquitous in the catchments of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and regularly
discharge into the nearshore waters. Effective management of pesticides requires suitable …

To assess the risk of pesticide mixtures in lagoon waters, this study adopted a multi-step
approach using integrative passive samplers (POCIS) and concentration addition (CA) …

Antifouling biocides may cause adverse effects on non-target species. This study aims to
determine the distribution, sources, and ecological risks of antifouling biocides in the surface …

The combination of antifouling and biocidal methods is an efficient antimicrobial strategy to
alleviate environmental biofouling. Herein, a functional organic/inorganic hybrid coating with …

The ecotoxicological effects of herbicide contamination on the autotrophic growth of
microalgae in aquatic environments have been major concerns. However, little is known …
