Abstract
Search for substances that promote attachment of marine sessile organisms using the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis galloprovincialis, is not only important in aquaculture, but also provides information on the modes of action of repellents, Curcumin, BHT, and their derivatives were found to be attachment promoting for M. edulis galloprovincialis.

Some of these active compounds also showed antioxidant activity.
