Marine biofouling is a global problem that is detrimental to both moving ships and static underwater devices.Marine microorganisms tend to attach to any unprotected surface and grow into biofilm,which can be hardly removed even under high shear flow condition[1].With the long-term accumulation of marine organisms,ships suffer significantly from the increase on the net weight as well as the drag when cruising.Increased drag causes fuel power penalties of up to86%at cruising speed;it is notable even a very thin layer

Marine biofouling is a global problem that is detrimental to both moving ships and static underwater devices. Mine microorganisms tend to attach to any unprotected surface and grow into biofilm, which can hardly slip even under high shear flow conditions. [1] .With the long -term accumulation of marine organisms, ships suffer significantly from the increase on the net weight as well as the drag when cruising. created drag causes fuel power penalties of up to 86% at cruising speed; it is not able even even a very thin layer
