METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT REMOVAL AND ANTISTICKING OF AQUATIC ORGANISM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an effective method and apparatus for carrying out antisticking and removal of aquatic organisms at a low cost without using any chemical. SOLUTION: The method for carrying out antisticking and removal of these aquatic organisms comprises arranging electrodes in the neighborhood in which an object from which adhesion of the aquatic organisms is prevented or the aquatic organisms attached to the object is irradiated with shock wave and ultraviolet light generated accompanying pulse discharge and directly irradiating the aquatic organisms with the shock wave and ultraviolet light generated accompanying the discharge by generating the pulse discharge on electrodes. When carrying out pulse discharge, it is preferable that bubbles exist in water near electrodes and a reflecting body having a structure reflecting either one or both of the shock wave and the ultraviolet light generated by the pulse discharge is used.
