“…On-site treatment methods which remove biofouling effectively, cheaply, easily and with minimal environmental impact are needed. Since Fitridge et al (2012), several treatment methods have been tested experimentally and used commercially with varying levels of success, including manual removal (Li et al 2018), exposure to air (Hillock and Costello 2013;Hopkins et al 2016), freshwater (Fletcher et al 2013), heat , organic acids and bases (Rolheiser et al 2012), pressure washing , applying silicone release coatings (Tettelbach et al 2014), adding a culture medium (a substratum within suspended bag culture that physically dislodges biofouling) (Dunham and Marshall 2012;Marshall and Dunham 2013), and employing biocontrol (Atalah et al 2014;Sterling et al 2016).…”

“…An emerging strategy currently being tested to combat non-indigenous biofouling species via biosecurity incursion responses is encapsulation, whereby fouled structures are wrapped in material (eg PVC pallet wrapping), denying the organisms oxygen, nutrients and light (Roche et al 2015;Atalah, Brook, et al 2016). Toxic compounds also build up and contribute to high mortality rates of biofoulers (Coutts and Forrest 2007;Vaquer-Sunyer and Duarte 2010).…”

Biofouling in marine aquaculture: a review of recent research and developments

et al. 2019

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 reviews to inform management and guide future research. Here, the authors highlight recent research and developments on the impacts, prevention and control of biofouling in shellfish, finfish and seaweed aquaculture, and the significant gaps that still exist in aquaculturalists' capacity to manage it. Antifouling methods are being explored and developed; these are centred on harnessing naturally occurring antifouling properties, culturing fouling-resistant genotypes, and improving farming strategies by adopting more sensitive and informative monitoring and modelling capabilities together with novel cleaning equipment. While no simple, quick-fix solutions to biofouling management in existing aquaculture industry situations have been developed, the expectation is that effective methods are likely to evolve as aquaculture develops into emerging culture scenarios, which will undoubtedly influence the path for future solutions.

“…These encompass both toxic and non-toxic surface coatings [42,43], biofouling resistant materials [44], physical removal of biofouling [45] and seawater treatment in water intakes through electrolysis, chemical dosing, UV or ultrasound [46,47,48]. Few studies have tried to determine or predict the effectiveness of these systems in conjunction with the MRE industry and those that have relate to specific materials or components [49,48,50].…”

Abstract:Extensive marine growth on man-made structures in the ocean is commonplace, yet there has been limited discussion about the potential implications of marine growth for the wave and tidal energy industry. In response, the Environmental Interactions of Marine Renewables (EIMR) Biofouling Expert Workshop was convened. Discussions involved participants from the marine renewable energy (MRE) industry, anti-fouling industry, academic institutions and regulatory bodies. The workshop aimed to consider both the benefits and negative effects of biofouling from engineering and ecological perspectives. In order to form an agenda for future research in the area of biofouling and the marine renewable energy industry, 119 topics were generated, categorised and prioritised. Identified areas for future focus fell within four overarching categories: operation and maintenance; structured design and engineering; ecology; and knowledge exchange. It is clear that understanding and minimising biofouling impacts on MRE infrastructure will be vital to the successful development of a reliable and cost effective MRE industry.

“…Alternative methods that aim at preventing/killing biofouling without removing it are also in use, like for example heat treatment and encapsulation. However, while encapsulation is probably more adequate for recreational vessels and still requires standardisation [22,23], the efficacy of heat treatments on large areas of the hull is still lacking independent evaluation and no recent publications could be found since the last available review from 2010 [20].…”

Biofouling is detrimental to the hydrodynamic performance of ships. In spite of advances in hull coating technology, a ship must usually undergo underwater hull cleaning to remove biofouling during her in-service time. However, some cleaning practices may also lead to decreased lifetime of the fouling-control coating. Therefore, cleaning forces should be minimized, according to the adhesion strength of marine organisms present on the hull. In this article, values of adhesion strength found in available literature are discussed in the light of current knowledge on hull cleaning technology. Finally, the following knowledge gaps are identified: (1) data on adhesion strength of naturally-occurring biofouling communities are practically absent; (2) shear forces imparted by current cleaning devices on low-form fouling (microfouling) and corresponding effects on hull coatings are largely unknown. This knowledge would be valuable for both developers and users of cleaning technology.
