Abstract
Laboratory tests with the common barnadeBalanus amphitrite showed narcotic effect on nauplii, cyprids and odults of a solution of sodium benzoate in artificial sea water. This effect was faster as the concentration of sodium benzoate was increased. Field trials confirmed it was successfull in preventing barnade deposition on soluble matrix paints formulated with sodium benzoate as the antifouling agent. These results indicate the potential bio-activity of sodium benzoate on fouling organisms.
