Like many English words and phrases, the description of something reliable as “copper-bottomed” has a maritime origin. The name Cirripedia comes from the Latin words cirritus "curly" from cirrus "curl" [37] and pedis from pes "foot," [38] the two words together mean "curl-footed." [39] [ further explanation needed] The study of barnacles is called cirripedology. Today’s sailors still struggle with the same problem. More formally called biofouling, the unwanted build-up of sea life on the hulls of everything from pleasure boats to aircraft carriers causes drag through the water. This slows speeds and so necessitates the burning of more fuel, producing both higher costs and more carbon emissions. (The skins of sea creatures from whales to sea snakes can also become encrusted with barnacles in a similar way.)

Then there’s Tintin himself. The boy reporter, says Farr, is “an unusually blank figure. Just those two dots for eyes, that little nose.” His celebrated quiff was the result of an early car chase: Hergé enjoyed drawing it so much he made it permanent. “He appeals to everyone, boys and girls, all ages, all nationalities. He’s a blank sheet every reader can identify with. It’s a very clever device.” Screech, Matthew (2005). Masters of the Ninth Art: Bandes Dessinées and Franco-Belgian Identity. Liverpool: Liverpool University press. ISBN 978-0-85323-938-3. So imbued with current affairs were Hergé’s storylines, says Farr, that the day after he died, the French newspaper Libération was able to illustrate every single news story with a Tintin frame. “The Blue Lotus anticipates Pearl Harbour,” he says. “Tintin was on the moon 16 years before Armstrong. And I’m sure that, if and when the yeti is finally found, it will be just like Hergé drew it in Tintin in Tibet.” Lacalli, Thurston C. (September 2009).

PMID 34373600.One group of stalked barnacles have adapted to a rafting lifestyle, where they are drifting around close to the water's surface. They will colonize every floating object, such as driftwood, and like some non-stalked barnacles, also attach themselves to marine animals. The species most specialized for this lifestyle is Dosima fascicularis, which secretes a gas-filled cement that makes it float at the surface. [28] Low fuel costs have meant ship designers have not focused too closely on how to prevent biofouling, he says. The emphasis on climate change and controlling greenhouse gas emissions is changing that. So too is the understanding that biofouling ecosystems transported across the seas themselves pose a threat. Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.

A ring of plates surrounds the body, homologous with the carapace of other crustaceans. These consist of the rostrum, two lateral plates, two carinolaterals, and a carina. [6] In sessile barnacles, the apex of the ring of plates is covered by an operculum, which may be recessed into the carapace. The plates are held together by various means, depending on species, in some cases being solidly fused.

Barnacles are encrusters, attaching themselves temporarily to a hard substrate or a symbiont such as a whale ( whale barnacles), a sea snake ( Platylepas ophiophila), or another crustacean, like a crab or a lobster ( Rhizocephala). The most common among them, "acorn barnacles" ( Sessilia), are sessile where they grow their shells directly onto the substrate. [3] Pedunculate barnacles ( goose barnacles and others) attach themselves by means of a stalk. [3] Attachment [ edit ] Pearson, Ryan M.; van de Merwe, Jason P.; Connolly, Rod M. (2020).

In Spain and Portugal, the Goose barnacle is considered a great delicacy. Prices can reach up to 200 Euros per kilo for this Galician crustacean. Apparently, they taste better than they look!
