Barnacles stick to things, they pick a surface and they don't let go. They make some of the most amazing adhesive in the animal world, so much so scientists are trying to discover the secret.

@BenjaminHCCarr Blistering Barnacles! A trade disruption I hadn't considered. The original article is fascinating, and based on experience.

How Little #Sea Creatures Could Keep #Oil Scarce Long After The #StraitOfHormuz Reopens
A new report from The DeepDraft, shines a light on how "#biofouling" — #ships fouled by biological contaminants like #barnacles — can cause a whole host of issues for tankers leaving the Strait of Hormuz. Issues include an inability to reach top speeds, excessive fuel consumption trying to get there, and even risks of being blocked from ports upon arrival.

#Balanomorpha is a clade of #barnacles of the higher taxon#Cirripedia (Crustacea). Here #sessile adults of the invasive #Balanus #trigonus with their typical ribbed #shells, secreted by pouch-like carapaces. M.Zhang et al. (2023) isolated the #mitochondrialgenome of another neozoon: Megabalanus coccopoma,thus establishing it as #scientificmodel.

#Beach gooseneck #barnacles find.
There's 3 different types of barnacles found in BC waters/on beaches - acorn, gooseneck & whale - the latter grows on whales' bodies. Barnacles are a longtime, year-round staple #seafood for coastal #Indigenous #FirstNations. In particular, the #Haida & #Kwakwakawakw & #Pacheedaht #FirstPeoples have several documented stories involving barnacles, including food prep recorded histories.Barnacles are #ancient and can be dated to the middle of Cambrian period of Paleozoic because of Burgess Shale deposits in #BritishColumbia. They're #hermaphroditic #MarineAnimals.

Century-old #crustacean mystery solved: Parasitic #barnacles hijack host bodies through root-like networks https://phys.org/news/2025-07-century-crustacean-mystery-parasitic-barnacles.html
"Y-larvae have been studied in #plankton since the 1800s, but the real mystery is figuring out what they grow up to be... they are related to barnacles, but more as distant cousins... if we expose them to #crustaceans' growth hormone, they will hatch out of their little swimming larval shape into a slug-like body, which is similar to what parasitic barnacles do"

For #WorldOceanDay I thought I would share a print with both a vertebrate and invertebrate ocean species. This linocut and gel plate print shows the humpback whale swimming above and a close up of the whale below with six Coronula diadema barnacles.
The Coronula diadema name comes from its barrel and crown-like shape, which can grow to 5 cm (2”) tall and 6 cm (2.4”) in diameter. 🧵

For #ArtAdventCalendar day 3 my final hand-printed lino block print with gel plate printed areas is about Coronula diadema, a barnacle which specializes in humpback and some other baleen whales for #InsertAnInvert2024. Each print is 20.3 cm x 20.3 cm (8” x 8”) on lovely Japanese mulberry paper and shows the humpback whale swimming above and a close up of the whale below with six barnacles. 🧵1/3
