Biofouling resistant polyethylene cage aquaculture nettings: A new approach using polyaniline and nano copper oxide

Biofouling in cage aquaculture netting causes clogging of meshes, increased stress and retards the growth of fishes. This paper describes a new method of protecting polyethylene cage nettings from biofouling using polyaniline and nano-copper oxide. Polyaniline was synthesized in-situ over polyethyle...
