Abstract	Biodeterioration caused by marine organisms affects the economy of fishing operations to a great extent. studies were conducted by Central Institute of Fisheries Technology (CIFT) on the biology of fouling and boring organisms of the Visakhapatnam coast. Indigenous methods of preservation of fishing craft have been prevalent in this region. CIFT has successfully utilized water and oil-borne preservation for protection of fishing craft. This paper discusses the bioterioration caused by marine organisms in the Visakhapatnam coast, the role of microbial film settlement of foulers and the biology of fouling organisms. Methods for control of biodetrioration are also discussed.
