ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for preventing the settlement of or for removing attached mollusks and/or their larvae on the surface of a structure exposed to the aquatic habitat of the mollusks. The method comprises heating the surface with heating means, such as induction coils or resistance heaters, to an elevated temperature for a period of time sufficient to kill the mollusks and/or their larvae. The heating means and/or the power source may be movable so that they can be used to heat different components periodically to remove the mollusks or to prevent settlement.
