Extract

In Balanus balanoides (L.) several abrupt physiological changes occur after the breeding season in November. They include loss of gonads and associated organs, the acquisition of a high degree of cold tolerance (Crisp & Ritz, 1967), interruption of the regular sequence of moulting cycles (Crisp & Patel, 1960) and the reduction in feeding activity.
