Abstract
Studying the settlement behavior of cypris larvae is closely related to the economical operation of ships while reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The areas showing the existence of relatively higher values of the probability density function were visualized by using the values of the probability density function obtained from doing a kernel density estimation. The areas estimated were located non-uniformly on the flat plate. In particular, it was estimated clearly at the lower west side on Surface II. Cypris larvae seem to prefer to settle not in the central area but near the surrounding areas under intense competition.
