The Seasonal Changes in Body Weight, Biochemical Composition, and Oxygen Uptake of two Common Boreo-Arctic Cirripedes, Balanus Balanoides and B. Balanus
The seasonal changes in the body weight and composition of two common boreo-arctic species of cirripedes, Balanus balanoides and B. balanus have been followed. At a constant size (age under constant growth conditions) the body weight is closely related to the season. Increase in body weight takes pl...
