Abstract :

Biological encrustation can be considered as harmful growth of the marine community on submerged surfaces. The competition of the barnacles for a place to settle is accentuated, being able to cause problems, since they are opportunistic species and their colonization in solid surfaces damages the structures. Biocides are effective at controlling them, but their applications are restricted due to environmental concerns. This article uses the bibliometric study on physical methods for barn control using the Scopus database, and the articles are surveyed by controlled indicators. The results show that the researches published between 2005 and 2014 reported that the use of ultrasound and ultraviolet radiation are the most studied methods for the control of the Balanomorpha fauna in artificial substrates submerged in marine environments. During this period, 10 papers on this topic were published. Ultrasound and UV can affect nesting, viability and behavior of barnacles, if promising in the prevention of fouling
