Potential environmental risks associated with biofouling management in salmon aquaculture

The accumulation of biofouling organisms on farm infrastructure is an on-going problem for the global salmon aquaculture industry. Most salmon farmers in production regions worldwide undertake regular in situ net cleaning using specialised high-pressure washing rigs. Generally, the material removed...
