## Abstract Release rates of total copper in artificial seawater (without organic matter) from anti‐fouling paints of different active copper compounds range from 0.5 to 75 μg cm^−2^ day^−1^. Approximately 80% of the released total copper was determined to be electrochemically active (labile fracti
