Biofouling

This comprehensive book covers in detail the processes involved in marine and freshwater biofouling, biofouling processes with industrial implications, current legislation of relevance to biofouling issues and methods for the measurement of biofouling. The book also discusses future prospects including in depth coverage of the changes anticipated in biofouling worldwide due to global climate change, and likely future directions in antifouling research, technology and legislation.

Simone Durr and Jeremy Thomason are based at the Division of Biology, University of Newcastle, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK
