The present invention provides a system for prevention of adhesion of organisms in water to a substrate in contact with the water, wherein the substrate and the water flowing around the substrate form together a treated region, comprising a generator for producing electromagnetic wave having a time varying frequency, in electrical connection with a first excitation site of the treated region and with an avalanche current suppressor having its another terminal connected with a second excitation site of the treated region. A selected voltage is applied to the generator such that the generator is triggered to produce the electromagnetic wave capable of inducing an avalanche current to shock or kill the organisms. The invention also provides a method for prevention of adhesion of organisms in water to a substrate in contact with the water.
