✦ Synopsis

Biodeteriora tion

Obviously latitude, temperature, salinity, nature of the surface, species available for settlement and the nutrient content of the water will affect the settlement of macro-species. Although all these factors have a part to play, it is possible that the micro-organisms are of major importance in the settlement and succession of fouling species.
