| Abstract | The present communication presents a summary of the findings of the authors in the development of chemical preservatives and surface coatings to offset biodeterioration in fishingcraft. Fortification of creosote had distinct advantage over straight creosote with reference to loading, toxicity and price. Fortified creosote application is 50% cheaper than traditional methods with better prophylactic properties. Possibilities of combining antifouling and antiborer properties in one polymeric matrix with suitable additives and biotoxin are also highlighted. |
