How do barnacles in the ocean live on surfaces?

Barnacle. It is mainly adsorbed and attached to marine organisms.

In different stages, the barnacle will go through about four stages of life, which are nauplii, insectoid larvae, shell larvae, and finally its complete body.

In the insect-shaped larvae, it will stretch out its antennae to achieve adsorption in marine organisms, at this time the adsorption force is still relatively weak, but slowly growing, it will form shell-like larvae, at this time it will secrete a special viscous liquid, in order to increase its adhesion to marine organisms, so that it is connected to marine organisms together without a little gap, when it becomes a complete body, the adsorption force at this time is the strongest, it firmly grasps the outer edge of marine organisms. When it becomes a complete body, it is very difficult to separate it.

Barnacles are usually attachedTurtlesAnd the surface of the whale's body, because the turtle's shell is rough and the turtle's movement is slow, which is conducive to the barnacle's firm attachment to its surface, and the whale's movement is also very slow, so it will also parasitize on the surface of the whale's body. Barnacles are used by sea turtles and whales to absorb the floating creatures of the ocean as they swim in the seawater, so that they can survive. At the same time, it can also attach to the hull and rocks, because the surface of the hull and the rock is very rough and cannot be dropped.

But too many barnacles on the surface of turtles and whales can also have a negative impact on marine life, and barnacles attached to the hull and rocks can affect the operation of the hull and the body of fishermen. Even so, barnacles also have a good aspect, its medicinal value and food value are also very high, but also very popular with people, it can ** some diseases in people's body, for example, stomach pain and acid swallowing, water and fire burns, etc., as a delicacy, it is rich in protein, is a good food.

Barnacles are strong and prefer to parasitize in places where the water flow is slower and where food is plentiful. Barnacles parasitize wood or reefs in the sea, or on the bottom of boats.

Barnacles also like to be placed on animals with slow parades and rough skin. It is very difficult to get rid of this kind of animal, it can suck the flesh and blood of this animal, and it reproduces quickly. Whales and sea turtles are the main targets, and many species of whales have barnacles (e.g. sperm whales, gray whales, fin whales, beluga whales, etc.).

Killer whales are fast and have smooth skins, and when hunting their prey, they have a lot of fling force and tumbling up and down. Barnacles cannot be placed on killer whales.

In order to be able to attach themselves to the parasite, the barnacle will first secrete a very viscous substance in the body when it is parasitic, so that it can stick to the surface of the object and not be easy to fall, and then the lower part of the body will be deeply rooted in the host**, grow out of the wall plate connected to each other, and let itself be fixed in the object**. This is how barnacles parasitize on the surface of objects.

At the larval stage, they will reach out their tentacles to anchor to the attachment and then absorb nutrients from the ocean, releasing colloids to better attach to the host.

The adsorption of barnacles is very strong, it is a parasitic organism, no matter what it grows in, if you want to get it down, it is impossible without the help of tools, and it is also fatal to marine life, but it still tastes good.

Barnacles are particularly demanding on the environment. They like to live in places where the current is not fast and there is enough food, such as reefs, the bottom of boats, and the surface of slow animals.

Because barnacles tend to cause dense phobias in people.

Barnacles are arthropods that are often distributed in a "colony" state in their habitats, and at the same time, the creature has a very disgusting side, that is, when living in a large "colony", it is completely afraid to look at it, which is what is known as "dense phobia".

The organism is a "hermaphroditic" species, and most of them can be fertilized by allogeneus, so the species is very widely distributed and can be seen in almost any "intertidal to subtidal shallow water" of the sea.

The dangers of barnacles.

One of the attachments on the whale's body is the "barnacle". Barnacles can be said to have a very strong effect on whales. When a whale has "spots" all over its body, it means that the whale is also dead.

Barnacles are also often attached to some hulls, increasing the roughness of the ship below the waterline, ultimately causing the ship to be under more stress, and also hindering the ship's operation, resulting in increased fuel consumption to allow it to run faster.

Secondly, barnacles are not good for the development of marine resources, when they gather on a large scale on some marine development platforms, it may lead to equipment failure, because the barnacles have a strong reproductive ability, some pipelines in the ocean are easy to cause blockage, so it will also affect, and at the same time has a strong corrosive effect, after the corrosion of marine structural materials and structures, it will also increase the risk and so on.

Barnacles are shaped as follows:

The anterior part of the barnacle mouth does not extend into a stalk, but attaches directly to the substrate to form a broad attachment surface, either calcareous or membranous. The apex forms a ring of bony plates, which are either connected, overlapped, or completely healed, depending on the species, and include the peak, beak, lateral, and lateral plates. At the top of this circle of bony plates are pairs of movable dorsal plates and plates, and there are crack-like openings between the dorsal plates and the plates on both sides, from which the limbs protrude.

Barnacles may not seem so scary, but they can be fatal to some marine animals. Because they do not stick to the surface of the animal like glue, but from adhesion to the end of the inlay, their surface is still a hard lime shell, and the inlay to a certain depth will cause the animal to feel strong discomfort. Whales, for example, sometimes turn over and hit the surface of the sea just to attack and avoid barnacles.

Many whales actually suffer from barnacles for a long time, and some even attack ships because of the pain, just to get help from humans.

Know. Because I once saw the appearance of barnacles on the Internet, it was ugly, and they generally existed in pieces, just like the "moss" growing on the **.

Barnacles are a bit like a horse's teeth, so people by the sea also call it horse teeth, the barnacle's shell is very hard, with four movable plate shells on top, and its adsorption is particularly strong, so it can be easily adsorbed on reefs and hulls.

Barnacles are small, shaped like a horse's teeth, and their shells are so hard that they can be parasitic on any animal, or on the bottom of a boat.

Like a bunch of dense eyes, Barnacle is a hermaphroditic, allo-fertilized animal that is unpleasant-looking and mostly gregarious.

The main reason is that they are difficult to guard against, they will drift with the currents of the ocean, clinging to the bodies of marine animals and parasitic on them. And they're so strong that they won't fall off easily.

Because barnacles do not simply attach to the surface of living things, they also penetrate deep into the body of living things, and once they are parasitized, it is difficult to get rid of them, and even if they get rid of them, it will be very painful.

Because barnacles have a special ability to secrete a substance that nails their bodies firmly to their hosts, never to be separated.

Parasitic barnacles, because of their unique survival characteristics, are spurned by different marine creatures, including goldfish and turtles. Even the people who work on the oceans are affected by them. Barnacles often parasitize on dikes, on hulls.

as well as on the bodies of sea creatures. They don't have a fixed habitat like other marine creatures. Their parasitic host is there, and they follow.

Barnacles can secrete a type of mucus in their bodies. Firmly anchor yourself to the host's body. Doing so will cause some damage to the host.

Barnacles' preferred parasites are either large or slow and clumsy. In this way, barnacle parasites are very difficult to peel off from their bodies. Therefore, the turtle shells of sea turtles and the bodies of whales have become the favorite parasitic sites of barnacles.

But creatures like those of the same kind that clean each other's bodies like dolphins, killer whales, and the like. Barnacles will not be able to parasitize them.

The water flow is also a big opponent for barnacles. Barnacles prefer places where the water is gentle. The flow velocity of the water is too large, which puts forward high requirements for the adhesion requirements of barnacles.

It also has an effect on the feeding of barnacles. So the fast-swimming sea creatures escaped barnacle parasitism. But creatures like turtles, which are slow to oil, and whales, have wrinkles all over their bodies, which greatly reduce the speed of the current.

Not so lucky.

Things parasitized by barnacles also need to be relatively stable and strong. Barnacles are difficult for soft animals such as octopus squid, while barnacles are easily parasitized by seaside dikes and the hulls of seagoing ships because of their sturdy and flat characteristics. Barnacles can be attached to ships to travel around the world.

Recently, there has been a rise in sea tank farming, and some people raise barnacles as seascape creatures. Decorate your own fish tank. It's also a good way to take advantage of it.

Once upon a time, a hull parasitized by a thick layer of barnacles cost a lot of money to eradicate. Now he can be used to beautify our lives.

Barnacles favor large, slow, and clumsy parasites. In this way, barnacle parasites are difficult to peel off from their bodies, so turtle shells and whale bodies become barnacles' favorite parasites.

Barnacles' habitat requires a dark environment, preferably surrounded by orange and green objects, and barnacle larvae like to parasitize them. And the temperature of the sea water is best around 24, and the pH value of the sea water is best around that.

Barnacles still have high habitat requirements, and barnacles prefer to live in places where the water flow is slow and there are more organisms and food. Because barnacles secrete mucus to parasitize living things, rocks, the bottom of boats, etc., if the current is fast, there is a high chance that barnacles will fall off.

Barnacles are a grayish-white, calcareous shell-like crustacean. Barnacles have a strong adsorption capacity and are indisputably considered the "hardest" parasite in the ocean to get rid of. Barnacles go through 4 stages of growth, and in the final stage, they become permanently parasitized.

Barnacles are a kind of shallow water distributed in various sea areas, and they like to parasitize on hard objects, such as turtles and whales, and reefs and hulls have become barnacle parasitism objects because of their hard appearance and rough characteristics.

Barnacles often prefer to parasitize objects with rough skin or hard appearance, such as reefs or hulls.

Barnacles are very fond of parasitic marine animals with slow parades and rough skin. Turtles and whales are the best places for barnacles to perch. Sea turtles parade very slowly, with rough shells, making them ideal parasites.

Whales are slow to parade, have rough skin, and are huge in size, producing small fluctuations in the current during the parade, which is very suitable for barnacle parasitism. Barnacles parasitize on whales, suck whale flesh and blood, reproduce very quickly, whales have a lot of barnacles, barnacles are whales' nightmares.
