Studies on the biology of barnacles of Porto Novo region
and Megabalanus tintinnabulurn (L.) is a large acorn barnacle commonly encountered in the shallow waters of both east and west coasts of India. It has been reported as a major com- ponent of fouling communities from both coasts (Anil, 1986; Venugopalan et al., 1990; Rajagopal, 1991). Sasikumar (1991) reported various aspects of the biology of this barna- cle, especially those related to reproduction and settlement. However, studies on the lar- val stages of this important barnacle species are sparse. Daniel (1958) briefly described the larval development in this species. Never- theless, his report is incomplete with respect to detailed description of diagnostic features, such as carapace spine, labrum, abdominal process, and setation of appendages. In this paper, we give a detailed account of the lar- val development of M. tintinnabulum, em- phasizing the changes in larval size, shape, general morphology and setation of ap- pendages, along with data on duration of each stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Larval Rearinl;.-Adult M. tintinnabulum were collected from the approach jetty piers of the Madras Atomic Power Station, Kalpakkam (12°23N, 80°11'E), east coast of In- dia. Release of the first (sometimes second) stage larvae from mature broods occurred after 24 h of aerial
