Abstract
Observation of Balanus balanoides on the shore at Whitstable shows that at all tidal levels a percentage of the animals maintain a connexion between the mantle cavity and the air by means of a minute aperture or pneumostome. A higher percentage of animals at lower shore levels have a pneumostome than those nearer the top of the shore.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
