Biofouling in marine aquaculture is one of the main barriers to efficient and sustainable
production. Owing to the growth of aquaculture globally, it is pertinent to update previous …

Aquaculture is expanding all over the world. The limitations are mainly related to location,
water flow, escapees and fish health. The present status of flow hydrodynamics within and …

The fish farming industry suffers significantly from the effects of biofouling. The fouling of
cages and netting, which is costly to remove, is detrimental to fish health and yield and can …

The culture of oysters, clams, scallops, and other molluscs is collectively one of the fastest
growing sectors of the domestic aquaculture industry. An inherent issue with shellfish culture …

With the relatively recent advent of intensive aquaculture practices, there is a need for data
on the contemporary biofouling and antifoulants associated with it. Therefore, experiments …

This chapter aims to explain the differences in the problems that face the aquaculture sector
in terms of biofouling and antifouling compared with other industries. The crucial difference …

Bivalve aquaculture is worldwide impacted by biofouling development. Immersed
infrastructures and shells of the reared species create new substrate for a wide range of …

We examined the effect of environmental variables on the growth and survival of the tropical
scallop, Euvola ziczac (L.), in suspended culture at Turpialito in the Golfo de Cariaco …

Fouling of scallop shells and cultivation nets by living organisms is costly to remove and can
reduce scallop growth. Here we investigate biological control of fouling in suspended …

In biofouling communities, ascidians are among the most damaging species, presenting
severe threats, such as depressed growth rates and decreased chances of lower survival, to …
