Conclusion and recommendation report resulting from the results of the ANODE project and published by FEM editions

Synthesis of existing data for the modeling work to follow (modeling in the deliverables of lot 3)

Numerical simulations applied on the study sites

Backup of the data used for characterising the different biofouling monitoring protocols in an excel file.

Excel database containing the information collected for the atlas (45 sources for the French maritime façades + 24 on a global scale) and shapefiles for the cartographic representation of the available data

The macrofouling qualification and quantification protocols were extracted from 64 public documents (33 scientific articles, 1 book chapter, 22 internal reports, 4 internship reports and 4 theses) presenting studies conducted in France (n = 40), Europe (n = 16) and the world (n = 8).

Configuration of the ocean model and biogeochemical modules

Proposal of protocols for measuring several biofouling variables (fresh weight in air, fresh weight in water, biovolume, thickness) that were tested during the project.

This report focuses on two important parameters for biofouling image analysis: the artificial light and the distance to the structure. The first section presents the available tool that was already deployed in several studies in link with industrial needs (O’Byrne et al., 2018c) and the laboratory equipment. Section 2 focuses on the automatic segmentation algorithm and the indicators of quality of assessments. Finally section 3 introduces configurations that were tested and the key results.
