Abstract

From June 1978 to May 1979 an investigation with exposed test panels on marive fouling and boring organisms was undertaken in the Nanji Island.87 species of fouling organisms and 5 species of boring organisms were obtained in the study.The results of investigation indicate that the fouling organisms are attached throughout the year,the period of the main attachment of the animals is from April to September and that of algae from April to June.The dominant fouling animal is Balunus trigonus.Whilst B.reticuldtus,B.tintinndbulurn tintinnnbulum,Clytid cyindricd,C.rninutn,Obelia geniculatu,Mernbranipord savdrtii are the common species of the animals,Enterornorphd intestindlis and Polysiphouin sp.are the dominant species of algae(Fig.1).
