Preliminary study on effects of accrete organisms of artificial reef material

The experimental effects of accrete organisms of artificial reef material were put up. The results showed there were 20 species of 17 families with dominated by Balanus reticulates on the artificial reef material after 3.5 months of immersion, and 36 species of 31 families with dominated by Perna viridis after 20.5 months of immersion. The accrete effects of concrete slab, wood board, iron plate and plastic board were better than other material. The accrete effects of rough concrete slab, wood board with rustproof paint, iron plate with green paint and gray plastic board were the best among the same material. As being made from iron-wood or ferroconcrete, the most fishing vessels are suitable used for artificial reef material.
