Biofouling causes
Deoxygenation problems; causes losses of stock
and accumulation of degradation products.
Inefficiency; reduces the efficiency of materials
and equipment physically damages equipment, accelerates
corrosion.
Reduced Fish health; can cause diseases can have
toxic affects (e.g. toxic secondary metabolites e.g.
bryozoans) reduces the market value of shellfish
(aesthetic grounds, fouling not compatible with
processing or packaging methods). |
