Linking stages of life history: how larval quality translates into juvenile performance for an intertidal barnacle (
Balanus glandula).
Filtering barnacles [ivory barnacles,
Balanus eburneus (Crustacea; Cirripedia)] and decapod shrimps [big-claw snapping shrimp, Alpheus heterochaelis (Crustacea; Decapoda)] were used for the analysis because filter feeders and scavenging omnivores represent important links between the detritus and higher trophic levels.
Colonization of shells is absent, except for some ostreids which show borings and
Balanus.

Preliminary studies of secondary metabolites from seaweeds have shown biological activity against bacteria (Sieburth and Conover, 1965), Mytilus edulis larvae (Katsuoka et al., 1990), bryozoan (Bugula neritina) larvae (Schmitt et al., 1995) and
Balanus amphitrite larvae (Willemsen, 1994).
