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 …

Biofouling in marine aquaculture is a specific problem where both the target culture species
and/or infrastructure are exposed to a diverse array of fouling organisms, with significant …

Predation is a dominant structuring force in ecological communities. In aquatic
environments, predation on bivalves has long been an important focal interaction for …

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 …

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have greatly increased since the beginning of
the industrial age. This has led to a decline in global ocean pH by 0.1 units, and continued …

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

The unwanted biofilm development on the surface of the cathode in microbial fuel cell (MFC)
may hinder the transfer of protons, thereby limiting the transfer of the protons into the …

Globally, oyster reef restoration is on the rise. In many instances, restoration is occurring
alongside established oyster aquaculture industries that grew to prominence following …

Extremely fast animal actions are accomplished with mechanisms that reduce the duration of
movement. This process is known as power amplification. Although many studies have …

Competitive interactions between cultured mussels and fouling organisms may result in
growth and weight reductions in mussels, and compromised aquaculture productivity …
