Biofouling attaches to immersed surfaces in between hull cleanings. Due to high speeds and relatively short port times, biofilm often attaches to the immersed surfaces of containerships. In most cases, this type of fouling is not given much importance si...

To address the phenomenon of color shift and low contrast in underwater images caused by wavelength- and distance-related attenuation and scattering when light propagates in water, we propose a method based on an attention mechanism and adversarial autoe...

In situ protection and conservation of the Underwater Cultural Heritage are now considered a primary choice by the scientific community to be preferred, when possible, over the practice of recovery. The conservation of the artefacts within their environm...

Fishing net cleanliness plays a critical role for aquaculture industry as bio-fouled nets restrict the flow of water through the net leading to a build-up of toxins and reduced oxygen levels within the pen, thereby putting the fish under increased stress...

Fish farm facilities become colonized by biofouling, and in situ cleaning activities may increase the accumulation of biofouling, mostly shell-hash, on the sediment. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the effect of fish farming on this process. ...

Biofouling is detrimental to the hydrodynamic performance of ships. In spite of advances in hull coating technology, a ship must usually undergo underwater hull cleaning to remove biofouling during her in-service time. However, some cleaning practices ma...
