文摘This paper reports the species composition and distribution of fouling bryozoans in the northern SouthChina Sea. 34 species identified belong to 23 genera, 22 families of fouling bryozoa, of which most of 24 species on thebuoys attached to concrete sinkers. The 13 species on platforms mainly included Schizoporella errata and Membranipora savartii. Depth distribution of species, larval settlement behaviour and larvae type of fouling bryozoa are discussed.
