Abstract
Polysyncraton lacazei (Giard), a colonial tunicate of the western Mediterranean, seems to be well-protected against epibiosis. Out of several thousand potential colonizers estimated, only one kamptozoan species, Loxocalyx sp., is found with some regularity (less-than-or-equal-to 21%) on the colonial surface. The results in this paper suggest the existence of overlapping mechanical, chemical and extrinsic adaptations with a good antifouling potential.
