Hi,
any barnacle experts out there? My daughter is doing a Grade 11
biology project on the effect of tides on a barnacle population in
Halifax Harbour. (On Saturday afternoon, we have spent a cold and windy
hour in a canoe at the mouth of Dartmouth's "Sawmill River," measuring
and counting barnacles on a wooden seawall.)
All the individuals we saw looked morphologically identical, even
though there were several size classes present, and we assume that they
all belonged to the same species, Northern Rock Barnacle (Balanus
balanoides). Is this the common intertidal zone barnacle species in Nova
Scotia? Could someone confirm our species ID? Many thanks!
