Better understanding of the mechanisms of antifouling compounds is recognized to be of
high value in establishing sensitive biomarkers, allowing the targeted optimization of …

Environmental stressors are assessed through methods that quantify their impacts on a wide
range of metrics including species density, growth rates, reproduction, behaviour and …

In the early stages after larval settlement, coral spat can be rapidly overgrown and
outcompeted by algae, reducing overall survival for coral reef replenishment and supply for …

Abstract SeaNine 211, with 4, 5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT) being the
biocidal ingredient, is a widely-used antifouling agent to deter the undesirable biofouling …

Biofouling is one of the most challenging problems for the maritime industry which has been
minimized through the application of coatings containing anti-fouling (AF) biocides (eg Cu …

Recent advances in nanotechnology have allowed the encapsulation of hazardous
antifouling (AF) biocides in silica mesoporous nanocapsules (SiNC) reducing their short …

This study investigated the sublethal effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of
DCOIT on the neotropical oyster Crassostrea brasiliana. Gills and digestive glands of …

Biological fouling is an unwanted phenomenon that results in economic losses to the
shipping industry. To prevent fouling, antifouling paints are used. DCOIT (4, 5-dichloro-2-n …

Biofouling prevention is one of the biggest challenges faced by the maritime industry, but
antifouling agents commonly impact marine ecosystems. Advances in antifouling technology …

Behavioral responses are considered sensitive and effective indicators of organism stress.
As the demand for standardized coral toxicity tests grows, innovative tools that allow for …
