The impact and control of biofouling in marine aquaculture: a review (2012, background): “Problems remain however in that fouling remnants are invariably left after cleaning (Greene and Grizzle 2007 ), some of which can regrow quickly (Guenther et al.”
Detached aquaculture buoys in the SE Pacific: Potential dispersal vehicles for associated organisms (2009, background): “…colonized by fouling organisms considered as eco-engineers (e.g. bryozoans, barnacles and solitary tunicates), which create ample habitat for mobile species that otherwise could not colonize the smooth surface of plastic buoys (Tsikhon-Lukanina et al. 2001, Cocito 2004, Greene & Grizzle 2007).”
Attraction and repulsion of mobile wild organisms to finfish and shellfish aquaculture: a review (2018, background): “A study on the seasonal (monthly) succession at an offshore cage site in Maine, eastern USA, showed that net fouling biomass reached up to 30 kg m-2, most of which was mussels (Mytilus edulis) (Greene & Grizzle 2007).”
