	Limpet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Limpets are marine mollusks in the family Acmaeidae with flattened, cone-shaped shells.
		Limpets move by rippling the muscles of their foot in a wave-like motion.
		Limpets found on exposed shores are at risk from desiccation, and so to avoid drying out they will clamp to the rock they inhabit, minimizing water-loss from the rim around their base.

		The limpet moves by rippling the muscles of its foot in a series of waves.
		Limpets have no trap door or operculum to protect their soft bodies so they cling tightly to the rocks at low tide to keep from drying out.

		The shape of a limpet’s shell has a great deal to do with whether the animal remains securely attached to its rock or is ripped off and thrown onto dry land or into the waiting tentacles of a hungry sea anemone.
		Studying his results, Denny figured out the specifications for the perfect limpet shell: to get the best protection against the combined dangers of lift and drag, a shell’s height should be 53 percent of its length and its peak should be directly over the center of its shell.

	The Incredible Mr. Limpet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Limpet is a 1964 movie from Warner Brothers about a human named Henry Limpet who turns into a talking fish, and in return helps the US Navy to defeat Nazis using his new "thrum", a whale busting noise that disrupts underwater measurements and weapons.
		The animated fish-like Limpet, complete with his signature spectacles, then uses his new-found abilities to assist the Navy in tracking down German U-boats, becoming one of America's greatest naval heroes.
		The choice of the name Limpet for the main character is somewhat ironic, as while limpets are aquatic, in their adult form, they are nearly immobile mollusks that cling to rocky shorelines.

		The previous classification of this group is overly conservative because: (1) it is based mainly on shell morphology, even though a limpet is merely a simple cone with a few characters, and (2) it relies on the mistaken assumption that gill characters are conservative”.
		A nice balance is normaly obtained, since the feeding rate of the limpet and the replacement rate of the algae are equal (Fretter and Graham, 1994).
		The mechanism by which a limpet returns to its home commonly involves the chemoreceptive retracing of a mucous trail laid by the animal on its outward journey.

	Case Study: Slipper Limpet
		Transported mainly through oyster trade, the slipper limpet is often found in bays with oyster culture, but it can be carried on boat hulls, as well, and has been increasingly found in port regions.
		In this way, slipper limpets compete with native mollusks for food and in areas where limpet populations are high, can outcompete oysters, clams, and mussels.
		Slipper limpets attach together to form a chain, which allows limpets to reproduce quickly, and these chains of shells can become so dense that they completely blanket the sea bottom.
