<p>A method of minimizing adherence of living marine organisms on exposed surfaces of a component submerged in a fluid medium containing such organisms is provided. The method simultaneously minimizes danger to higher forms of animal life present in the fluid medium. The method includes determining the component to be protected and its size and shape. In addition, the material such component is manufactured from is determined. At least one electrode is positioned adjacent an exposed surface of the component to be protected. A voltage is applied to create a current flow path. In this manner, an electrical field is generated which has an intensity at least sufficient to cause the organisms to close.</p> |
