Antislime Coatings. Part II - Preconditioning Value of Slime for Barnacle Attachment

Investigations of the relationship between barnacle attachment and the presence of a primary slime film on submerged surfaces has been completed.

Zusammenfassung:	Investigations of the relationship between barnacle attachment and the presence of a primary slime film on submerged surfaces has been completed. Using laboratory-reared barnacle cyprids in a statistical settlement survey, it has been determined that the number of barnacle cyprids settling on a slimed surface consistently exceeds by a factor of ten the number that settle on a cleaned control surface. Data describing the slime factor as a naturally occurring surface-preconditioning agent affecting the settlement of other sessile organisms are evaluated. (Author)
