The nature of antifouling (AF) coatings used to prevent the biofouling on these small vessels has great environmental concern. Therefore, efficacy of a nontoxic AF candidate, acetophenone, was evaluated in preliminary laboratory assays using marine bacteria, diatom and Ulva spores.

Similarly acetophenone coatings at a 40% level significantly inhibited the ...
