Description Microfouling biomass was higher in the shelf waters (< 200 m) as compared with the slope waters (> 200 m). Bacteria were first to colonize on the aluminium surfaces as irregular formations during the initial stages of fouling. The number of fouling diatoms decreased as the depth increased. Nitzschia, Licmophora and Navicula were the most dominant forms. Carbohydrates and lipids were the most abundant constituents in the fouling material as compared with protein.
