Abstract
Biofilm accumulation on ships increases drag and fuel consumption. Despite continuing advancements in anti-fouling coatings, there is limited research on how environmental parameters influence biofilm development. Understanding how in situ variables can influence biofilm development can lead to better management strategies for preventing and removing growth on ships.
