1. Roughest hour – approaches to ship hull fouling management
Sammanfattning : Submerged surfaces at sea are colonized by a high diversity of sessile (i.e. attached) life forms. As the merchant fleet capacity increases, responding to growth in demand for seaborne transport, so does the hull wetted surface area that is prone to colonization by these sessile organisms, i.

2. Barnacle Bioadhesive Bonding Formation, Strength and Control
Sammanfattning : The current technology for keeping ship hulls free of marine biofouling requires the use of toxic compounds such as copper, organic biocides and tributyl tin (TBT). The compounds that are released have been shown to have negative effects on non-target organisms, and a worldwide ban of TBT is currently being introduced. LÄS MER
3. Low biocide emission antifouling based on a novel route of barnacle intoxication
Sammanfattning : Marine biofouling can be defined as the colonization of man-made surfaces in seawater by microscopic and macroscopic organisms. This phenomenon can result in great loss of function and effectiveness both for cruising ships and for static constructions. LÄS MER
4. Flow effects on settlement and recruitment in the barnacle BALANS IMPROVISUS with applications for biofouling control
Sammanfattning : An understanding of the processes causing patterns of organism distributions in time and space is fundamental in ecology. For sessile marine invertebrates, water motion is an important predictor of distribution patterns, affecting organisms all the way from dispersal to post-settlement recruitment. LÄS MER
