A short communication which assesses the process of initial development ofbiofilms on nets used for fish culture in marine systems. Settlement follows apattern of succession through conditioning, bacteria and diatoms with associatedExtracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) and other microscopic algae and fauna.Initial settlement appears to accelerate further settlement
