Biofouling(1) VR2 Australia Shallow Water DeploymentAn example, (non-OTN), of a heavily fouled receiver (from 7m water depth above hard limestone reef substrate). Other receivers showed approximately <10% coverage by hard-shelled organisms (limpets/barnacles); <20% coverage by salps, bryozoans, encrusting algae and ~50-60% algal coverage.
