How terrible are barnacles, which have become a delicacy for humans, in the animal kingdom?

Barnacles will never fall as long as they stick to each other, barnacles will stick to the animal's shell, which will make the animal very clumsy, and eventually cause the animal to die.

Barnacles are an animal, arthropods with a calcareous shell that attach themselves to rocks on the seashore, on coastal docks, on the bottom of boats, and on large marine animals, especially whales, as well as on the bottom of boats traveling in the ocean.

Although barnacles are arthropods, they are also very picky about parasitic objects, and generally choose the environment suitable for their own survival, and once parasitic, they will choose to always attach to it, unless the environment is not suitable for barnacles to leave, otherwise they will not leave.

Barnacles are probably the most attached to whales, which are large and slow to move through the ocean. Because of its large size and short fins, whales can't completely clean up the barnacles attached to their fins, so they can only clean them out of the sea.

Barnacles generally live in softer parts of the whale's body, because these places are not touchable by the whale, not to mention the abundance of organic matter, so for barnacles, food is not a problem. But what makes people wonder why barnacles don't parasitize sharks?

In fact, barnacles do not parasitize on sharks because sharks move forward quickly, and when sharks are advancing, the surrounding water flow is fast, so it is not conducive to the growth of barnacles, but it is easy to fall. And the shark's ** is very hard and not easy to attach, so barnacles will not choose to parasitize on sharks, and the environment on sharks is unfavorable to barnacles, so in order to grow, barnacles will find places that are beneficial to their own environment. The whale is very suitable, and the barnacles have a strong growth ability, so even if the whale wants to get the barnacles off, it is a little powerless because the barnacles reproduce quickly.

Barnacles are also very harmful to fishermen, these barnacles will attach to the bottom of the boat, in order to prevent accidents, fishermen will clean the barnacles every year. However, barnacles are a great nuisance to fishermen and whales, but they are also a delicious food, and fishermen sometimes can't do anything about such love-hate marine creatures.

It belongs to the animal family, and although its name is particularly similar to a plant, it is an animal, and it will parasitize other animals and affect the growth of other animals.

It is an animal that is generally attached to rocks, and sometimes it is also attached to animals, and the suction is particularly strong, and it is an arthropod.

It is a plant, although it is a plant, but barnacles parasitize the body of animals, and they will also cause a lot of trouble to animals.

This thing belongs to phytoplankton and often attaches itself to a variety of fish, with whales being their favorite place.

Barnacles feed on plankton in the seawater, and whenever the tide rises, the barnacles are submerged in the seawater and will stretch out their tentacles to catch the plankton of the seawater Reed to eat. When the tide drops, barnacles come out of the water and close their shells to prevent water loss and predators.

Barnacles are a type of arthropod.

Barnacles, also known as "horse teeth", are arthropods that are often attached to stones by the sea.

Barnacles are hermaphroditic creatures that can breed all year round in tropical seas, and barnacles pose a serious threat to ship hulls, docks and submarine cables, and if attached to the hull of a ship can slow down a ship considerably.

The development rate of barnacles has a certain relationship with the water temperature, the growth rate of the shell is also related to the water temperature, and the attachment strength of barnacles in each season is also different, generally more in summer and autumn, and less in winter.

Barnacles are very widely distributed, and they can be found in almost any sea area, and most of them will gather in harbors, surface turtles in the water, etc.

Do barnacles have predators?

1. Barnacles have almost no natural predators, starfish can eat barnacles, but they can't clean barnacles on the bottom of the boat.

2. The biological pollution of the hull is a worldwide problem, which was generally solved with copper in the past, using copper nails, or wrapping the hull with copper skin, or mixing coarse copper powder in the paint, which will pollute the ocean, but now a slow-release pheromone control method has been developed.

3. In tropical sea areas, such organisms can reproduce and attach all year round, and the species and number decrease with the increase of distance from the shore. Barnacles and the like are attached to coastal docks, ship bottoms, submarine cables, etc., which often cause great harm, such as barnacles fixed to the hull of the ship, which greatly reduces the speed of navigation.

Barnacles, commonly known as "touch" and "horse teeth", are calcareous shelled arthropods attached to rocks by the sea, often forming dense communities.

The copper kettle is a hermaphroditic animal that can. Agamogenesis.

Although the barnacle is a crustacean, its adult body can neither swim nor crawl, but live a sessile life. It is a small creature with a grayish-white, calcareous shell attached to the rocks by the sea. Because it is shaped a bit like a horse's teeth, it is often called "horse teeth" by people who live by the sea.

Barnacles like to cling to the intertidal reefs along the coast in groups, often turning the reefs into white flowers. Not only can it be attached to the reef, but it can also be attached to the hull of the ship, and it cannot be washed away even by the wind and waves. However, the barnacle fixation habit will increase the resistance of the ship to sail, affect the speed of the ship, and consume more fuel.

The cost of eliminating barnacles globally is as high as $10 billion a year.
