“…Epibiotic interactions among intertidal organisms—along with the consequent effects at the individual, population, and community level—have been well documented (Witman & Suchanek, 1984; Wahl et al., 1997; Laudien & Wahl, 2002; Diederich, 2006; Wahl, 2008; O’ Connor, 2010; Eschweiler & Buschbaum, 2011; Gutiérrez et al., 2019). To date, however, only few studies have reported temporal changes in the outcome of this interaction for the basibiont (Bell et al., 2015; Habit et al., 2010; Zardi et al., 2007). Thus, the varying individual response to epibiosis throughout the year and at the different tidal heights emphasizes the relevance of both temporal variability and the environmental context.…”

“…Many species select a surface to settle in response to specific physical and chemical cues (Keough & Downes, 1982; Bers et al., 2006). On the other hand, certain mytilids have developed defensive mechanisms involving the surface microtopography of their shells that mechanically prevent the settlement of local epibionts (Bell et al., 2015; Bers et al., 2006; Bers & Wahl, 2004; Wahl, 1989). Nevertheless, the lack of available substrate in certain environments and abrasions or other damage to the periostracum can result in an intense settlement on the shells (Clark & Johnston, 2009).…”

Epibiosis in sedimentary coastal environments: Effects of an introduced barnacle on a native mussel

2021

The way in which organisms use space defines and structures their communities, many of those being characterized by a low number of dominant taxa that determine the physical structure of the habitat (e.g., tropical forests, grasslands, and coral reefs; Menge & Sutherland, 1987;Angelini et al., 2011). In sedimentary intertidal environments, the availability of substrate for sessile species is limited and mytilids most likely play a key role by providing a suitable substrate for opportunist colonizers to settle, including non-native species colonizing new habitats (

“…Biofouling occurs due to accumulation of nutrients on the substrate surfaces (Kerr et al, 1999). First, these nutrients attract microfouling organisms, then the accumulated organisms propagate and provide a source of nutrition for the development of higher-trophic-level multicellular organisms to the substrate (Myers et al, 2006;Bell et al, 2015). The bacterial biofilm on the substrate surfaces plays an important role in the adhesion and metamorphosis of some invertebrate larvae (Maki et al, 1988).…”

Marine macro-biofouling by Balanus sp. is a source of problems in marine industry. Chemicals have been employed in dealing with biofouling, but are harmful to the environment. The bioactive compounds in seaweeds offer an environment-friendly anti-biofouling alternative. The aim of this study was to examine the ability of Sargassum duplicatum crude extract to inhibit macrofouling by Balanus sp. S. duplicatum was extracted by using the maceration method. Balanus sp. settlement inhibition assays were conducted by applying extract on wooden planks at varying extract and paint ratios. The wooden planks were later immersed in the seawater. Observation of the number of Balanus sp. attached on the planks was carried out after 10, 20, and 30 days of immersion in seawater. The results from the observation showed that treatment P4 (75% extract, 25% paint) was the most effective in inhibiting macrofouling by Balanus sp. This was evident from the 10-day and 30-day observations in which the number of Balanus sp. attached was only 12.3 or 3%. The number was lower compared to in other treatments in 30-day observation, i.e., treatment P3 (50% extract, 50% paint) at 24 or 6%, treatment P5 (100% extract) at 48.3 or 12%, P2 (25% extract, 75% paint) at 73.6 or 19%, treatment P1 (100% paint) at 102 or 26%, and control P6 (no paint and extract) at 135.6 or 34%. For this reason, S. duplicatum extract was considered to have the potential to be developed as an anti-fouling agent on marine materials.
