Optimization of plastic polymers for shellfish aquaculture infrastructures: in situ antifouling performance assessment

Biofouling poses a significant challenge to bivalve aquaculture affecting both the target culture and/or the immersed infrastructure. In suspended bivalve cultures (e.g., oysters and scallops), biofouling accumulation leads to additional labor demands and increased costs for the maintenance of under...
