- Abstract:
- We propose to develop a behavioural bioassay using Ethovision 3.0 to test the hypothesis that adult barnacles, and/or the adult-associated biofilm, release a cue into the water column that primes the cyprids for settlement. The specific objectives are to confirm the importance of the cue to barnacle settlement and to provide information on the source of the cue as a prelude (beyond the scope of the present proposal) to its complete characterisation.
