Biofouling is an international, multi-disciplinary journal providing a forum for publishing pure and applied work on microbial, plant or animal fouling and its control, as well as studies of all kinds on bioadhesion and biofilms. Papers may be based on studies relating to growth in water (eutrophication); attachment and growth on any natural or man-made surface in the freshwater, marine or aerial environments; fouling, bioadhesion and bioflims in the medical, dental, industrial or agricultural context.
