Abstract

Biofouling has been generally viewed as a negative issue affecting the culture of bivalves around the world. One significant impact of biofouling is the reduction of growth of affected species. To quantify its effect on scallops, meta-analytic techniques were employed using secondary data from best available published studies. Using the random effects model, the study was able to determine a significant reduction in the growth of fouled scallop by about 24%. However, subgroup analysis revealed that the effect of biofouling on growth significantly varied depending on the type of fouling experienced by the scallops (Q=65.96, p
