Oceanographic Cruise Summary, Marine Biofouling Studies in Montego and Oyster Bays, Jamaica, January 1967 to January 1968
Abstract
The U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office conducted biofouling studies in Montego Bay and Oyster Bay, Jamaica, from January 1967 to January 1968. The study was in cooperation with the McCullum-Pratt Institute of Johns Hopkins University with funds provided by the Office of Naval Research and the Atomic Energy Commission. A total of 46 fouling panels was recovered from the two bays. A theory is introduced that in certain habitats the seasonal rains may trigger reproduction and settlement in the barnacle, frequently the chief member of the fouling community.
