A Study of Deep Ocean Fouling Straits of Florida and Tongue of the Ocean, 1961 to 1968.
Abstract
A deep ocean fouling study was conducted in the Straits of Florida and in the Tongue of the Ocean between June 1961 and January 1968 to determine the distribution patterns of offshore biofouling communities. Test panels were exposed at selected depths to 1,737 meters and distances to about 4 miles off Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Andros Island, Bahamas. A total of 88 species of fouling organisms was collected. (Author)
