Biofoulers on aluminium and stainless steel panels at Vijaydurg harbour, central west coast of India
Abstract
Occurrence of cirripede larvae in the water column and their settlement on the panels throughout the year showed that barnacles were the prolonged breeders. Fluctuations in the salinity values appear to have affected the settlement on the panels. Depth dependent changes were not significant in the settlement of fouling organisms. Algal settlement was confined to subsurface waters only
