Prolonged settlement and prediction of recruitment in two sympatric Chthamalus species from south-west Ireland

Research output: Contribution to a Journal (Peer & Non Peer)Articlepeer-review

Abstract

Attached cypris larvae and less than one month old metamorphs of Chthamalus stellatus and C. montagui (Crustacea: Cirripedia) were sampled from random quadrats on two shores in County Cork, Ireland, from July 1996 to June 1997. Cyprids of C. stellatus were much more abundant than those of C. montagui, but the relative abundance of metamorphs of the two species did not differ significantly. Cyprid abundance predicted metamorph recruitment intensity during peak settlement in C. stellatus bur not in C. montagui.
