We sampled macrofouling organisms in three stations. Overall, 40 species of macrofouling organisms were detected in which Barnacles, sponges, Bryozoans, echinoderms, Polychaetes and Gastropods were the major groups. The majority of biomass and highest density were observed in the first half of the sequence. Biomass and density differences in the sequence of 6 months on structures was evident. Amphibalanus amphitrite had the highest participation in these sequences. CP - IRAN IN - LG - eng PB - hormoz-jae PG - 45 PT - Research YR - 2016
