What are the interrelationships between oysters and barnacles?

Oysters and barnacles exhibit a commensal relationship, where barnacles attach themselves to the shells of oysters for stability and access to feeding currents. While barnacles benefit by gaining a substrate and exposure to nutrient-rich waters, oysters are generally unaffected by the presence of barnacles. However, a heavy barnacle infestation can potentially hinder an oyster's feeding efficiency and growth. Overall, this relationship highlights the complex dynamics of marine ecosystems, where organisms can influence each other's survival and growth.
