After four weeks of immersion, the same trend was continued
and the paints based on the ovary crude extracts seemed
to attract more fouling relative to the paint surfaces based
on the mucus crude extracts but lesser fouling than the control
and uncoated plates. The uncoated and control plates nearly
attracted about 18 g of (wet weight) fouling for each while
AF2 and AF4 attracted about 3 and 4.1 g of fouling most of
them being algae, tube worms and hydroids.
