带海区大型污损生物主要为无柄蔓足类的网纹藤壶和三角藤壶、有柄蔓足类的茗荷和鹅茗荷、双壳类软体动物的翡翠贻贝和齿缘牡蛎及管栖多毛类的华美盘管虫和龙介虫,苔藓动物以多室草苔虫和大室膜孔苔虫为主,海鞘则为皱瘤海鞘和冠瘤海鞘,另还有腔肠动物、海绵和藻类等出现.今后应着重探讨大型生物污损现象与材料腐蚀和防护之间的关系,掌握优势种类群的基础生物学的特性,揭示污损生物群落的形成发展作用机制,研究开发天然防污化合物,为保障海洋设施安全和促进海洋经济健康持续发展创造条件.
In tropical waters, the fouling marco-organisms are mainly composed of acorn barnacles (Balanus reticulates and B. trigonus), stalked barnacles (Lepas anatbra and L. anser(fera), bivalves (Perna viridis and Dendostrea folium), polychaetes (Hydroides elegans and Surpula vermicularis), bryozoans (Bugula neritina and Membranipora grandicella) and ascidians (S~.,ela plicata and S. canopus). Moreover, coelenterates, sponges and algae are important fouling species also. Further work should be focused on (I) the influence of macro-fouling on corrosion of substratum; (2) the fundamental biology of dominant fouling species; (3) the mechanism of the fouling community succession; (4) the development of novel and natural antifoulants.
