Marine biofouling refers to the undesirable growth and adhesion of marine organisms such as barnacles, macro-algae, microbial slimes etc. on immersed structures. Tropical ocean environment teems with microorganisms, of which some adhere, both to the static ship hull and while en-route to the destination increasing roughness. A laboratory-scale LIBS technique was used to analyse biofouling samples and its constituent common water-borne algae and bacterial species. Biofouling composition was determined by collecting samples from marine structures and vessels and analysing them in laboratories. Biofouling characterization tests were also done such as SEM analysis. The Quanta 200 FEG Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used for obtaining the SEM images. The structure of quartz crystal in the biofouling samples was also determined.
