| The main aim for this report is to provide an overview of biofouling prevention practices adopted by the JERICO consortium, to evaluate new methods used by the community external to JERICO, and to provide recommendation for best practices and methodologies across the network with the aim towards a common approach. Information on practices in use were collected through a questionnaire, from the JERICO workshops, and from the literature. Furthermore, JERICO started a Biofouling Monitoring Program (BMP) aiming in identifying major organisms responsible for biofouling in different geographical area, as an input to the development and application of more suitable approach to any specific region. |

| During its life cycle Carcinus maenas (Decapoda, Portunidae) goes through several phases of the moulting process (ecdysis) which allow it to grow despite having a rigid, non-living outer surface. As an individual approaches ecdysis, the exoskeletal calcium is solubilized (decalcification) from the shell and transferred through the integumentary epithelium to the blood, where much of it is transported to cells, tissues and organs of temporary storage where it is later mobilized for deposition into the new exoskeleton. We hypothesised that the decalcification process caused deterioration of the features and structures (e.g. tubercles and setae) characterizing the crab carapace, but that this can be reversed by moulting. We also tested whether wear and tear... |
