Fouling-release of barnacles from a boat hull with comparison to laboratory data of attachment strength

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2010
Fouling-release of various life stages of barnacles was measured from two silicone-based products and a reference Plexiglas (PMMA) surface on a boat hull.

Barnacle reattachment: a tool for studying barnacle adhesion

Biofouling, 2008
Standard approaches for measuring adhesion strength of fouling organisms use barnacles, tubeworms or oysters settled and grown in the field or laboratory, to a measurable size. These approaches suffer from the vagaries of larval supply, settlement behavior, predation, disturbance and environmental stress.

Barnacles resist removal by crack trapping

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society Interface, 2011
We study the mechanics of pull-off of a barnacle adhering to a thin elastic layer which is bonded to a rigid substrate. We address the case of barnacles having acorn shell geometry and hard, calcarious base plates.

Hæmoglobin in Barnacles

Nature, 1963
HAEMOGLOBIN is known from many groups of Crustacea, excluding Malacostraca; but it has not previously been found in the non-parasitic Cirripedia1. It is, therefore, interesting to record the occurrence of haemoglobin in Balanus perforatus Bruguiere, a common intertidal barnacle of southern Britain, south-west Europe, the Mediterranean and north-west ...

Making Mountains out of Barnacles: The Dynamics of Acorn Barnacle Hummocking

Ecology, 1998
Like plants, sessile invertebrates are often morphologically modified at high densities. At high densities acorn barnacles commonly form hummocks of tall, densely packed individuals. We examined hummock development and its consequences on filter feeding and growth in the northern acorn barnacle, Semibalanus balanoides.

Distribution of Barnacles by Ships

Nature, 1951
THE recent establishment of the Australian cirripede Elminius modestus Darwin as a member of the British littoral fauna1 has aroused great interest and speculation. Formerly one of the most geographically confined of all barnacles, it was first discovered in British waters in 1944, since when it has spread rapidly over a wide area of our southern ...

Mobility of Barnacles

Nature, 1960
IF a young barnacle is removed from a surface the remains of the antennal suckers, marking the point at which the individual cemented itself as a cypris larva, may sometimes be found near the centre of its base. It has generally been assumed that this point of basal attachment is fixed.

Feeding of Barnacles

Nature, 1955
AT the start of an investigation into the rate of feeding of the different species of intertidal barnacles, I was surprised to find that there was very little published information on the methods employed for the capture of food or on the organisms eaten by these ubiquitous animals.
