Abstract

Barnacles are among the most important and abundant sessile animals on hard substrates, particularly in tidal areas. In this study, effect of substratum type on settlement of the bay Barnacle, Amphibalanus improvisus, was investigated in Amirabad Port, Southern Caspian Sea, from August 2013 to July 2014. Five substrates (10×10 cm) including PVC, wood, Plexiglas sheets treated with Barnacle adult extract, smooth sheet and roughed sheet were used. Ten replicates per substratum were horizontally deployed at 1m depth. The substrates were then monthly retrieved and replaced with new panels. Subsequently, number of settled Barnacles (abundance), biomass (dry weight), growth (weight per individual) and organic to inorganic material ratio of the Barnacles were recorded. The results showed that the number of the settled Barnacles on the PVC panels were significantly higher compared to the other substrates (p<0. 01). Furthermore, the highest density of Barnacles were observed in December, while there were almost few settlers in February. The highest growth rate of Barnacles occurred in July. The highest and the lowest organic to inorganic ratio were observed in December and July, respectively. Regression analysis showed that temperature is a significant factor in the growth rate of Barnacles. Besides the knowledge on the temporal distribution of Barnacle larvae, the results of this study have implications in selecting the material type for construction of marine infrastructures.
