Yes.
Barnacles live only in salt water.
Barnacles on a crab's shell improve its toughness, while the barnacles (normally lacking motility) are able to visit more than one location to obtain food, and may even feed on the crab's prey. Some barnacles, however, can cause damage or sterility in some species of crabs.
Barnacles form a symbiotic relationship with whales by attaching themselves to the whale's skin or baleen plates. The barnacles benefit from the whale's movement, which provides them with a constant flow of food-rich water. In return, the barnacles can cause some drag on the whales, affecting their swimming efficiency and potentially increasing energy expenditure.
An example of commensalism is the relationship between barnacles and whales. Barnacles attach themselves to the skin of whales to gain protection and access to nutrients in the water, while the whales are not significantly affected by the presence of the barnacles.
Barnacles do not have complex communication abilities like verbal or visual signals. They primarily rely on chemical signals to sense and respond to their environment, such as detecting the presence of other barnacles or changes in water quality. This communication helps them coordinate behaviors such as reproduction and feeding.
Barnacles are crustaceans( a type of arthropods)
commensalism
Yes, "as rough as the barnacles" is a simile. It compares the roughness of something to the rough texture of barnacles using the word "as."
There are more than 1,000 different species of barnacles.
Barnacles protect themselves by sticking to something sturdy.
Barnacles live only in salt water.
Barnacles are shellfish that cling to rocks or ships hulls.
An example of commensalism is the relationship between barnacles and whales. Barnacles attach themselves to the skin of whales and benefit by getting a free ride through the water and access to nutrients. The whales are not significantly affected by the presence of the barnacles.
The things that eat acorn barnacles are whelks which arte sea snails, mussels and some starfish all eat of feed on barnacles
You can remove dried barnacles from a fiberglass boat using a stainless steel scrubber or a pressure washer for large barnacles.
Barnacles belong to the phylum Arthropoda and the order Sessilia.
Barnacles can attach themselves to various watercraft including kayaks.
