This report details the research program investigating the potential antifouling activity of extracts from the periostracum of the marine mussel Mytilus sp.. Previous research has suggested that marine mussels utilise multi-faceted defence mechanisms to ensure their fitness does not suffer due to heavy fouling colonisation of their shells. The shell coating known as the periostracum is indicated as a possible physical and chemical antifouling defence component. In this study, the ...
