Abstract

Barnacle adhesion measurements provide an excellent method of assessing the foul release characteristics of non‐toxic surfaces. This paper describes both tensile and shear force methods that have been developed for field applications. Selected data are presented and the results discussed with respect to the variables that affect the observed adhesion values.
