Assessment of an anti-scale low-frequency electromagnetic field device on dri...
International audience; Low intensity and very low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) used for preventing scaling in water distribution systems were tested for the first... -
Quorum sensing: an emerging link between temperature and membrane biofouling ...
Lab-scale membrane bioreactors (MBRs) were investigated at 12, 18, and 25 °C to identify the correlation between quorum sensing (QS) and biofouling at different temperatures.... -
BaAMPs: the database of biofilm-active antimicrobial peptides
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are increasingly being considered as novel agents against biofilms. The development of AMP-based anti-biofilm strategies strongly relies on the... -
Measuring a critical stress for continuous prevention of marine biofouling ac...
AbstractWhen cleaning the hull of a ship, significant shear stresses are needed to remove established biofouling organisms. Given that there exists a link between the amount of... -
Comparison of laboratory and field testing performance evaluations of siloxan...
A series of eight novel siloxane-polyurethane fouling-release (FR) coatings were assessed for their FR performance in both the laboratory and in the field. Laboratory analysis... -

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... -
Dynamics of a biofouling community in finfish aquaculture: a case study from ...
Biofouling is one of the challenges that can strongly affect the finfish farm economy. Although several studies on biofouling in aquaculture have been conducted in the... -

The results of in-water vortex-induced vibration (VIV) experiments on circular cylinders artificially covered with barnacles are reported. The paper focusses on the effects of... -
Testing of novel net cleaning technologies for finfish aquaculture
To avoid the negative impacts caused by biofouling development, aquaculture nets around the world are periodically cleaned using high-pressure washers. Net cleaning is... -
A data-driven approach to predicting the attachment density of biofouling org...
The attachment efficiency of biofouling organisms on solid surfaces depends on a variety of factors, including fouler species, nutrition abundance, flow rate, surface morphology... -
Biodiversity characterisation and hydrodynamic consequences of marine fouling...
As part of ongoing commitments to produce electricity from renewable energy sources in Scotland, Orkney waters have been targeted for potential large-scale deployment of wave... -
Antifouling activity of portimine, select semisynthetic analogues, and other ...
A range of natural products from marine invertebrates, bacteria and fungi have been assessed as leads for nature-inspired antifouling (AF) biocides, but little attention has... -
2-Furaldehyde diethyl acetal from tender coconut water (Cocos nucifera) atten...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-biofilm and quorum sensing inhibitory (QSI) potential of tender coconut water (TCW) against Chromobacterium violaceum and...
