Abstract
PACHECO, Aldo and GARATE, Antonio. Biofouling in Argopecten purpuratus culture structures at samanco bay, Peru. Ecol. apl. [online]. 2005, vol.4, n.1-2, pp.150-152. ISSN 1726-2216.
Biofouling are species that are attached to hard substrata that are immersed or in permanent contact with the sea water. With the objective of assessing the biofouling species composition in an Argopecten purpuratus suspended culture, organisms were sampled in October 20, 1998 at the Universidad Ricardo Palma sea farm ( Samanco Bay, Ancash, Peru ) . A total of 33 species belonging to 10 taxonomical groups were identified. The species corresponded to intertidal, subtidal and pelagic habitats.
