Extract

The closure response to low external salinity of three species of intertidal and estuarine barnacle (Balanus balanoides, B. crenatus and Elminius modestus) when exposed to various rates of salinity change were investigated. Comparisons were made between the responses of specimens collected from estuarine and coastal sites. In addition the responses of the brackish water barnacle Balanus improvisus were measured.
