Influence of bacterial exopolymers and the adult extract of Balanus amphitrite and Cthamalus sp. on cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Settlement of barnacle, a major fouling organism is believed to be controlled to a great extent by substratum characteristics such as, presence of conspecific adults or "gregariousness" inducing factors. Exopolymers secreted ...
Influence of food concentration, temperature and salinity on the larval development of Balanus amphitrite
(Springer, 1996)
Influence of food concentration (0.5, 1 and 2 x 10 sup(5) cell ml sup(-1) of Skeletonema costatum), temperature (20 and 30 degrees C) and salinity (15, 25 and 35 ppt) on the larval development of Balanus amphitrite ...
Cryoperservation of Balanus amphitrite nauplii
(Academic Press, 1997)
The possibility of cryopreserving B. amphitrite (Cirripedia; thoracica) nauplii is explored. The effects on the postthaw survival of a range of cryobiological variables are reported; three different cryoprotectants (ethylene ...
Starvation threshold of Balanus amphitrite larvae in relation to temperature
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Energy content in the non-feeding (lecithotrophic) cyprid larvae of B. amphitrite plays an important role in determining its metamorphic characteristics. In this context it is important to understand the energy transformed ...
Influence of bacterial exopolymers, conspecific adult extract and salinity on the cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(Blackwell, 1998)
The influence of bacterial exopolymers and conspecific adult extract of Balanus amphitrite on metamorphosis of cyprid larvae at different salinities has been evaluated through laboratory assay. The bacterial exopolymers ...
