Abstract

To understand the type and extent of marine fouling in offshore areas southeast of the Zhujiang (Pearl) river mouth, the northern South China Sea, an investigation project is conducted within the period from May 1986 to June 1987.Two biological investigation buoy stations were deployed in 95 and 113 m water depth, being 114 and 160 km away from southeast of Hong Kong, respectively.Moreover, the fouling community of a Marex hydrological buoy located in 115 m water depth, being about 172 km away frow Hong Kong Hong Kong was surveyed also.The results show that a total of 78 species were collected and identified.The 3-month panels were mainly occupied by pedunculate barnacles, hydroids and algae.Of them, the dominant species are Conchoderma hunteri, Lepas anatifera and Orthopyxis sp.Oysters, pearloysters, acorn barnacles and bryozoans are only found on the buoys, including the subsurface buoys, and their mooring systems, which had been exposed for 6 and 12 months, respectively.Fouling communities also exhibit a distinct shift of species composition with depth.
