Abstract
Reproduction and embryo development of marine animals occur in the sea water and are processes very sensitive to substances present in the environment that come from industrial and agricultural activities. These compounds are collectively known as xenobiotics due to their extraenvironmental origin. Among xenobiotics present in the sea water, a relevant role is played by the anti-fouling compounds. These are used to prevent settlement and growth of organisms on submerged structures of vessels and ships that otherwise should create serious problems of speed slow down.
