Settlement of the alien mollusc Brachidontes pharaonis in a Mediterranean industrial plant: Bioassays for antifouling treatment optimization and management

► We tested the efficacy of new biocides for water treatment against an alien bivalve. ► We tested the environmental compatibility of the biocides with Artemia salina according to National Regulation. ► Biocides were tested on alternative crustaceans. ► Different biocides discharge threshold limits derived from tests results were compared.
