Energy content at metamorphosis and growth rate of the early juvenile barnacle
Balanus amphitrite.
As a sessile filter feeder,
Balanus eburneus extends its long feeding appendages (cirri) to remove zooplankton and microalgae from the water column (Ruppert 1994).
Balanus is also recorded in this bed, but not attached to any substrate.

Balanus sp.
The Copepoda (Eurytemora grimmi, Limnocalanus grimaldii grimaldii, Acartia tonsa, Ectinosoma concinnum, and Halicyclops sarsi), Cladocera (Podonevaden trigona, Pleopis polyphemoides, Polyphemos exiguus), Cirripedia (
Balanus sp.), Polychaeta (Hediste diversicolor), Bivalvia larvae, and Ctenophora (Mnemiopsis leidyi) dominated the zooplankton taxa in all seasons in the southwestern Caspian Sea (Table 4).
