Abstract

Biofouling refers to accumulation of organisms on submerged surfaces. In case of open water cage culture, fouling organisms attached to cage nets block water flow and reduces waste removal resulting in increased stress levels on stocked fishes and reduces the rate of intake of feed and growth. It also increases weight of the nets leading to its damage. The quantity and diversity of biofouling organisms and their effects on the growth and survival of stocked fishes were studied.
