Primes

• Biofouling
  • The depositing environment is seawater continuously supplying spores, larvae, and barnacle cyprids whose settlement is opportunistic

    This sourceDescribes opportunistic, undirected settlement of spores, larvae, and barnacle cyprids on any available submerged surface and the antifouling-coating strategy of lowering the deposition rate.

    The review calls marine fouling organisms opportunists that colonise immersed surfaces via spores, larvae and cyprids, but it describes settling stages as choosy and never mentions continuous supply.

    “the fouling organisms are opportunists and have evolved the capability to attach and proliferate on a range of surfaces in the natural, highly turbulent marine environment.”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
