Developing and testing protocols for fouling treatments on oysters

Aim: Develop protocols for effective fouling treatment on oysters (Ostrea edulis and Magallana gigas) in the lab.

Fouling treatments were evaluated using lab trials (in tanks) for evaluation of effects of heat treatment of fouling organisms on oysters. A range of different temperatures and exposure times was evaluated. The data consists of parameters associated with the treatments (temperature) and survival of oysters, survival of fouling organisms. Data originates from the Swedish west coast.
