Marine epibiosis. I. Fouling and antifouling: some basic aspects

Open access
Wahl, M·1989·Marine Ecology Progress Series

Abstract

In the marine environment any solid, exposed undefended surface will become fouled.Similarly, fouling may effect numerous species which are able to tolerate a certain degree of epibiosis.In contrast, many others actively maintain t h e ~r body surface clean of epibionts ('antifouling').This paper illustrates aspects of the epibiosis/antifouling complex and discusses the omnipresence of fouling pressure, the first stages in the establishment of a fouhng community, the benefits and disadvantages of epibiosis for both epi-and basibionts, and possible anbfouling defense adaptations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
