By acting selectively on the early stages of biological colonisation, this approach makes it possible to control #biofouling on ships and marine infrastructures without releasing harmful compounds or compromising biodiversity.

A #copepod I've never seen before. Any ideas? It also has two unknown #cilliate stowaways. #plankton #freshwater #microscopy #zooplankton #biofouling

Was ist #Biofouling? 🐚 Algen & Muscheln haften an Schiffen & sorgen für 🚢 mehr Treibstoffverbrauch, 🌍 mehr CO₂ & 🐟 eingeschleppte Arten, die Meeresökosysteme gefährden. Das BSH zeigt im Video, warum das ein Problem ist & was wir dagegen tun können. 🌊 #WorldOceanDay

About 1/3 of the vessels in a new study sailed into dry dock with barnacles covering > 10% of their hull, leading to more fuel consumption and greater emissions/pollution in the air/ocean! Read more: www.hudsonshipping.com/hudso...

Not yet confirmed by microbiological analysis, but I've seen a lot of this over the decades. Visual can deceive: What we thought was #sulfur-oxidizing #biofouling in Jordan was #nitrate-reducing by DNA analysis of samples hauled back to the USA in carryon. Also lots of "dark matter" (whatsit?)
Stills from borehole videos showing biofouling clogging in boreholes(wells)
Years ago, we tried to map where Fe-related #biofouling occurred until the map was black. We add #Tanzania where I've seen it frequently in #borehole videos. Unit built by @boreholecams.bsky.social in use in the rough since 2016. Ground Water Tanzania, boreholes (wells) in Lindi Region.

⛵ Biofouling, the accumulation of aquatic organisms on vessels, raises fuel use, costs and emissions, while spreading non-indigenous species.
This guidance provides regional insights for sustainable #biofouling management in the boating community.

We're entirely applied, solving problems for water supplies, not a research group. Way back we did some contract research, foundational for routine #biofouling monitoring of #groundwater systems for problem diagnosis, maintenance and asset management
We show that #biofouling triggered plastic to exhibit more chaotic and random settling behaviours

I welcome myself to bluesky 🙂🙂.
Introducing myself, I work on #bacteriophages to control industrial #biofilm and #biofouling, as well as developing phage bank in India for treatment of human MDR #infections.
Like to connect phage researchers across the globe.
Vazella sea sponges settled on a mooring: they are excellent eDNA collectors!
New exciting lab output: #biofouling #sponges may be a precious new way to record biodiversity changes across the ocean using the #eDNA they store!

Dirty cruise ships; if it's not covid, it's snails
'The Coral Princess “has been directed to resolve a #biofouling issue because of high-risk live organisms (snails) in its discharge pipes,” said Paul Hallett from Biosecurity NZ.'
