Objectif BIOFOULING causes serious technical and financial problems for European marine aquaculture. Structural fouling causes increased loads, abrasion, clogging and enhanced drag. For cultured animals, fouling can overgrow them, compete for space/resources and reduce growth to uneconomic levels. Financial impacts can be enormous, ranging up to total loss of product.The project has two basic OBJECTIVES:A) To devise and test novel approaches to antifouling,B) To develop and disseminate approaches to fouling managementOBJECTIVE A is divided into categories:a) Biological methodsb) Physical Methodsc) Chemical methods.OBJECTIVE A will be attained by laboratory and field testing at sites throughout Europe.OBJECTIVE B is divided into categories:a) Data collectionb) Systematic explicit socio-economic researchc) Development of a decision-support toold) Dissemination.OBJECTIVE B will be attained by desk study/literature search and interaction with industry.
