The nauplii of Balanus balanoides (Cirripedia:Thoracica) taken in January and February in Northumberland waters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2009
Extract
Stage-2 nauplii larvae were taken in near-surface inshore tow-nets on the Northumberland coast in January and February of 1986, confirming isolated reports of similar observations in 1979–80. These occurrences are much earlier than expected from the normally described progression of naupliar release in British waters. It is suggested that premature larval release may be occasioned by damage to, or predation on, parent colonies.
