A study was undertaken on the fouling pattern, monthly settlement and species dominance at marine cage
culture during the year 2014-2015. The net panels deployed at three different depths during December
2014 and the study was carried out for seven months. The study revealed wide variations in colonization
of the bio-foulers, the density varied between 2-260/cm2. The overall density was found to be more in
bottom panels (6mt) compared to the top (1mt) and middle panels (3mt). The overall dominant species
were hydroids and barnacles throughout the culture period. In the top panels, hydroids were dominant
(91.67%) during December, followed by barnacles and amphipods. Additionally, complete dominance of
barnacles was observed in the middle panel during May. Barnacles were found dominant (93.75%) on the
bottom panels during March, followed by hydroids and crabs. The study underscored that barnacles
formed a major contribution of the fouling organisms throughout the culture period. Significant variation
in the occurrence and abundance of fouling organisms was observed, between the depths at cage site
