| Abstract: | Barnacles, molluscs and ascidians were the major foulants in Tuticorin harbour. The annual fouling load reached about 5 kg.m-2 on aluminum test panels. Marine growth, principally by molluscs, was more on steel liners and thickness values exceeded 2.5 cm. Of the 42 sessile species sampled, Balanus tintinnabulum and Crassostrea cristagalii produced most orrosion damage to underwater steel structures. |
