General: Article is new enough and long enough

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article is new enough and long enough, cited and seems plagiarism free, with a QPQ. My only query is whether the antifouling agent part of the hook could be a bit hookier? Perhaps something about how it inhibits the mussels or the limpets? I love the name of the plant for a DYK. (As an aside, I really enjoy these biology articles, Cwmhiraeth.)

@Lajmmoore: Thank you for the review. How about ALT1 or ALT2? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:11, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Cwmhiraeth - they both seem more hooky to me. Thank you for them. I prefer ALT2, but I'll leave it to the promoter. All hooks are covered by reference 5. Lajmmoore (talk) 08:08, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
