Abstract:Conclusion As the interactions between marine invertebrates and their bacterial commensals and symbionts are better understood, the application of biotechnology will enhance both environmental and economic benefit. In the immediate future, marine bacteria, either selected or genetically engineered, will play a significant role in enhancing the development of selected invertebrates in aquaculture and in the field. Luck may also favor discovery of mechanisms to suppress the development of biofouling species, perhaps by making it possible to coat submerged surfaces with bacterial films designed to repell larvae and/or interfere with larval morphogenesis. In any case, the future is appealing.
