Abstract
The role of slime film on macrofouling was studied by comparing the ratio of
settlement of cyprids to young barnacles on panels with slime films and panels
that had been sterilized. Settlement was greater on the panels with slime. The
rate of settlement varied significantly during different months and different
exposure periods. Similar patterns were found on the sterile as well as the
panels with slime. The results were compared to similar observations and studies
from different parts of the world.
