“…Succession patterns can differ depending on the season when the sampling structures are deployed (Underwood andAnderson 1994, Satheesh andWesley 2011). Despite the fact that all the panels were deployed in May 2015, the dominance of barnacles over almost the entire year and the absence of strong competitors (like mussels) lead to the prediction that the patterns observed for STP and LTP in this study would most likely not vary if the panels had been initially deployed in a different season.…”

Biofouling in the Southern Caspian Sea: recruitment and successional patterns in a low diversity region

Biofouling assemblages have representative organisms from different taxa acting as a link in transferring energy in marine food webs and as complex structures that form new habitats for other species (Pinnegar et al. 2000, Relini et al. 2002, Krohling et al. 2006). From an economic perspective, the settlement and development of biofoulers on man-made structures lead to deterioration processes that demand high investments in maintenance and replacement activities (Yebra et al. 2004). Furthermore, biological descriptors (e.g., biodiversity) of fouling communities have been used as important tools in environmental impact assessment (Balaji and Rao 2004). Hence, numerous investigations on these assemblages have been conducted over the past decades around the world (e.g.,

“…Artificial panels are frequently used by marine ecologists to test various ecological hypotheses (Keough, 1984; Anderson & Underwood, 1994; Connell, 1999; Satheesh & Wesley, 2011) due to their ease of handling and determining marine organism behaviour under various environmental conditions (Glasby & Connell, 2001; Satheesh & Wesley, 2011). In this study, treatment panels of four different materials (acrylic, stainless steel, ceramic and concrete) were used to understand the recruitment preferences of marine invertebrates.…”

“…Biotic and abiotic factors strongly influence invertebrate larvae during the settlement process (Rodriguez et al ., 1993; Vermeij & Sandin, 2008; Penin et al ., 2011). Initially, habitats are colonized by bacteria and diatoms (Zardus et al ., 2008; Satheesh & Wesley, 2011), which may alter the substrate properties (Lozano-Cortés & Zapata, 2014). Extracellular polymeric substances from the microbial biofilm (Camacho-Chab et al ., 2016), settlement cues from surface-associated diatoms (Patil & Anil, 2005) and conspecific cues (Da-anoy et al ., 2017) are reported to induce larval settlement.…”

Surface physical properties, hydrodynamics, biochemical cues, orientation and temporal scales play an important role in invertebrate larval recruitment on artificial substrates. In the present study, invertebrate recruitment on four different substrates (acrylic, stainless steel, ceramic and concrete panels) was investigated in two different orientations (vertical and horizontal) in the central Red Sea. Results showed significant variations in the abundance of benthic invertebrates between the different substrates. While barnacles and bivalves preferred panels placed in vertical positions, the abundance of bryozoans was high on horizontal panels. Artificial panel submersion season plays a significant role in the recruitment of benthic invertebrates on surfaces in the Red Sea. In conclusion, this study supports the overall notion that marine invertebrate recruitment on hard substrates is regulated by a combination of factors which include substrate type, orientation and submersion season.

“…Studies of biofouling on EFMD are now going under a rising bloom of research and have been taking two main venues to understand the following: (1) succession time frames associated with it [55][56][57][58][59] and (2) its impact on the EFMD intrinsic capabilities to withstand on the surface water [27,56,57,60]. All those aspects are important to predict EFMD behavior and to better target the methods used for search and detection.…”

Exogenous floating marine debris (EFMD) is a worldwide concern and its ubiquitous characteristics and long-term threat have raised calls for new venues to enable easier and prompt detection at large. The main focus of this paper is to evidence search and detection methods for EFMD using remote sensing techniques. This paper contributes to update research information in the topic under scrutiny and to screen for possible gaps to mitigate EFMD impacts. Several needs for research were found, and, before any work to establish the ground truth could take place, a spectral library model for EFMD going through several stages of biofouling must be created using passive or active research methods. Search methods need to be automated using empirical models based on stratified set-ups previously tested. Several sensors show potential for an indirect search for EFMD, but direct detection of EFMD using multispectral and radar instruments still needs further research through integration with conceptual and empirical modeling techniques.
