1. A water treatment system for marine growth prevention, comprising:
a water transport line, configured to transport water through the system;
an online multi-sensor module being connected to the water transport line in an online manner and being configured to automatically analyze the water being transported through the water transport line, thereby obtaining one or more water parameters indicative of properties of organisms in the water;
a hybrid treatment module, which includes multiple different treatment devices that are configured to treat the water by executing multiple different treatment modes; and
a control system configured to regulate the hybrid treatment module according to the one or more water parameters received from the online multi-sensor module by determining respective treatment parameters for the multiple treatment modes and issuing a control signal to adjust a treatment effect of at least one of the treatment devices between two mechanisms that target organisms in the water in a different manner according to at least one of the treatment parameters; and
wherein the treatment parameters provided by the control system comprise commands for activating a selected subset of the multiple treatment modes, the subset being selected according to the one or more water parameters received from the online multi-sensor module.
