Sub-species level (?) | Not entered |
Native origin (?) | Ocean: Indian --> Ocean region: E Indian Ocean Ocean: Pacific --> Ocean region: C Tropical Pacific --> Ocean region: E Tropical Pacific --> Ocean region: NE Pacific --> Ocean region: SE Pacific --> Ocean region: SW Pacific --> Ocean region: W Tropical Pacific References (not structured): Zullo VA (1992) Balanus trigonus Darwin (Cirripedia, Balaninae) in the Atlantic basin: an introduced species? Bulletin of Marine Science 50: 66-74 Comments: Darwin has specimens from Java, East Indies, Australia, New Zealand, Peru, Colombia, California |
Life form / Life stage (?) |
|
Sociability / Life stage (?) |
|
Reproductive frequency (?) | Iteroparous |
Reproductive type (?) | Self-fertilization Sexual |
Developmental trait (?) | Brooding Planktotrophy Comments: The fertilised eggs are brooded within the shell of the receiver adult until they develop into a nauplius larvae. A single adult barnacle may release over 10,000 larvae. Naupli are then released into the water as plankton. |
