Infos

Biofouling (the colonisation of an interface by a diverse array of
organisms) is almost always a problem where it occurs, as it
negatively affects surfaces, the materials that they are made from
and the structures that they form, and can even
destroy them.

This comprehensive book covers in detail in its first section the
processes involved in marine , freshwater and medical biofouling
including coverage of settlement by larvae and spores, biofouling
community processes, epibiosis (biofouling on living
organisms) and microbial fouling, including biofilms deleterious to
human health. The book's second section, encompassing biofouling
processes with industrial implications, includes coverage of
biofouling on artificial substrata, paints and coatings technology
for the control of marine biofouling, biofouling and antifouling in
the maritime industries, such as shipping, offshore oil , and
aquaculture, and in power stations and other industries. The
impacts of both biofouling and biofouling control and details of
current legislation of relevance to biofouling issues are fully
covered. The book's final section looks at methods for the
measurement of biofouling, and future prospects for biofouling,
including in-depth coverage of the changes anticipated in
biofouling worldwide due to global climate change, and likely
future directions in antifouling research, technology and
legislation.

Biofouling, which includes contributions from many
international experts, is an essential reference for all those
working in the antifouling industry including those involved in
formulation of antifouling products such as paints and other
coatings. Aquatic biologists, ecologists, environmental scientists
and lawyers, marine engineers, aquaculture personnel, chemists, and
medical researchers will all find much of interest within this
book. All universities and research establishments where these
subjects are studied and taught should have copies of this
important work on their shelves.
