Abstract

By shallow immersion tests on blank and antifouling coated panels,the growth of marine fouling in different seasons of China's sea areas,including Qingdao,Zhoushan,Xiamen and Sanya was researched. The results showed that in Qingdao sea area,the growth of barnacles was vigorous in summer and green alga grew in winter,while in Zhoushan sea area,the growth of amphiroa was vigorous in summer;in Xiamen sea area,the growth of barnacles was vigorous in summer,while in autumn and winter seasons,bryozoan were the main species;the temperature in Sanya sea area was relatively high throughout the year,marine fouling mainly dominated by barnacles and coil worms. The research on the bio-fouling condition in different sea areas of China is of great significance for domestic ship construction and commercial ship operation.
