	Barnacle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The crab at centre is nursing the externa of a parasitic cirripede of the genus Sacculina
		A barnacle is a type of arthropod belonging to infraclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea and is hence distantly related to crabs and lobsters.
		Barnacles were first fully studied and classified by Charles Darwin, at the suggestion of his friend Joseph Dalton Hooker, in his quest to further his ongoing development of the theory of evolution and natural selection.

	barnacle - HighBeam Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Barnacles are exclusively marine and are quite unlike any other crustacean because of the permanently attached, or sessile, mode of existence for which they are highly modified.
		Barnacles with a calcareous shell (order Thoracica) include the gooseneck barnacles, which are attached to the substrate by means of a stalk, or peduncle, and the acorn, or rock, barnacles, which are attached directly to the substrate.
		Barnacles are economically significant because they settle on ship hulls and harbor installations; the resulting encrustation of the ships greatly increases friction, diminishing speed and increasing fuel consumption.

	Barnacle general biology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Barnacles are divided into two groups: the acorn barnacles (Balanomorpha) in which the plates attach directly to the rock, and goose barnacles (Lepadomorpha) which are attached on the end of a stalk.
		After fertilisation the female barnacle broods its eggs until they hatch as a minute cypris larva which swims until it is ready to settle head-down on a suitable surface.
		Barnacles live on hard surfaces at all latitudes at all depths from the intertidal zone to the deep sea.

	Barnacles - Life on Australian Seashores
		Barnacles do not release their gametes into the sea, but are able to fertilise one another.
		Barnacles are hermaphrodytic, which means that a single animal has both male and female parts.
		Because of the activities of the parasitic barnacle, which feeds off the living tissues of the crab, the male crab is castrated, and adopts a female-like form.

	Barnacle (Half-Life) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Physically, barnacles resemble little more than a large mouth full of sharp teeth and a thin, but long and very powerful muscular hydrostat combining the functions of a tongue and tentacle, which can be retracted or extended to hang at near-floor level regardless of the animal's height from the floor.
		Barnacles appear to be capable of killing and digesting a human being within only a few seconds, stripping the skeleton of flesh and spitting out indigestible bones.
		As the barnacles are never seen moving, it can be assumed that their food requirements are relatively low and that they can survive for extended periods without food, perhaps explaining their sedentary lifestyle.

	Disappearance of the Barnacle Zone
		Barnacles are directly limited in the upward expansion of their vertical range according to the high tide level, and also by the abundance of food contained in that tide.
		The impression received in 2001 is that barnacles are sparsely and irregularly dispersed throughout the lower midlittoral and gradually diminish to zero towards the upper part of the region.
		Barnacles were so plentiful that ice action was not immediately suspected, but close examination revealed that nearly all the large species likely to have survived the winter were in crevices and under overhangs, and that those on open rock were almost all from the current year’s settlement.

		Some barnacles are commensal on certain whales, turtles, fish, sponges, hydrozoans, and corals, among other animals.
		Barnacles bore into coral and old mollusks shells using chitinous teeth on the mantle as well as a chemical process to dissolve the shell.
		Barnacles were once classified as mollusks because of the forming of an outer skeleton or "shell" around the soft-bodied animal.

		Gooseneck barnacles are thought to reach maturity at the age of five, and are considered fully grown at the age of twenty.
		The gooseneck barnacle is a barnacle that is found in the intertidal region of Portugal and Spain.

	barnacle - yourDictionary.com - American Heritage Dictionary
		The barnacle goose breeds in the Arctic, a fact not known for a long time; since no one ever witnessed the bird breeding, it was thought to be spontaneously generated from trees along the shore, or from rotting wood.
		Wood that has been in the ocean for any length of time is often dotted with barnacles, and it was natural for people to believe that the crustaceans were also engendered directly from the wood, like the geese.
		This led one writer in 1678 to comment on the "multitudes of little Shells; having within them little Birds perfectly shap'd, supposed to be Barnacles [that is, barnacle geese]." In popular conception the two creatures were thus closely linked.
