“…The samples were then air-dried in a desiccator containing silica gel, placed on microscope slides, sputter-coated with gold, and identified using images taken with a Hitachi SU3500 (Hitachi High-Technologies, Tokyo, Japan) scanning electron microscope (SEM), operating at 15 kV. We used standard morphological keys following Chan et al (2009) and Shahdadi et al (2014) to identify the barnacle species. Sea turtle foraminifera epibionts were identified using the Atlas of Benthic Foraminifera (Holbourn et al, 2013).…”

Sea turtle epibionts can provide insights into the hosts' habitat use. However, at present, there is a lack of information on sea turtle epibiont communities in many locations worldwide. Here, we describe the epibiont communities of 46 hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in the Persian Gulf. Specifically, we sampled 28 turtles from the Dayyer-Nakhiloo National Park (DNNP) in the northern Gulf and 18 turtles from Shibderaz beach in the Strait of Hormuz. A total of 54 macro, meio, and micro-epibiont taxa were identified, including 46 taxa from Shibderaz and 29 taxa from DNNP. The barnacles Chelonibia testudinaria and Platylepas hexastylos, as well as harpacticoid copepods and Rotaliid foraminifers, had the highest frequency of occurrence found on almost all turtle individuals. Harpacticoids were the most abundant epizoic taxa (19.55 ± 3.9 ind. per 9 cm2) followed by forams (Quinqueloculina spp.: 6.25 ± 1.5 ind. per 9 cm2 and Rotaliids: 6.02 ± 1.3 ind. per 9 cm2). Our results showed significant differences between the study sites in the composition of micro and macro-epibiont communities found on hawksbill turtles. We speculate that the differences in epibiont communities were largely influenced by local environmental conditions.

“…Invasive present species are one of the foremost damaging environmental problems in biology and conservation, and can affect human health and man-made structures (Bojko, 2017); the barnacle P. segnis may be infected by the other cirripedes, Heterosaccus dollfus and P. segnis were reported to hosts the barnacle Chelonibia platula from Turkish coasts (Özean, 2012); on the other side, Voris and Jeffries (1997) mentioned 28 species of Octolasmis in their study, the range of capitular length of 19 specimens of O. angulata was 1.15-2.60 mm (1.57), conclude that the host gill chamber affords protection and causes a reduction of capitular plates. Shahadadi et al (2014) listed four species of Octolasmis from unknown locality including O. angulata, O. cor, O. lowi, O. nierestraszi and O. warwicki from Kuwait; also these species were found attached to the abdomen and pleopods of large crabs, and large crustaceans and distribution in the Indian Ocean (Jones, 1986).…”

Ten blue swimming crabs Portunus segnis (Forskål, 1775) were collected from the north west of the Arabian Gulf off the Iraqi marine waters from October to November 2017 at 29ᵒ 37′ N to 48ᵒ 47′ E. The barnacle Octolasmis angulata (Aurivillius, 1894) was found on the gills of the present species of crab, the mean incidence of infestation was 30%, while the mean Intensity of infestation was 12.3. The barnacle have a long and slim shaped calcareous plate with the presence of carina and the absence of tergum, in addition to the elongated shape of carina and scutum. The current study represents the first record of the barnacle O. angulata in the Arabian Gulf.

A diverse sessile barnacle fauna from a Miocene shallow‐water deposit at Dolnja Stara vas in Slovenia is described. It includes the first descriptions of early post settlement juveniles of Actinobalanus sloveniensis attached to mangrove leaves. These represent three distinct growth phases, the earliest being interpreted as being less than 24 h post settlement, the others being 1 to 2 days post settlement. An assessment of their taphonomy is provided. Associated adult balanomorphs are attached to a variety of organic substrates, including mangrove leaves and branches, fragments of the conifers ?Taxodioxylon, Carapoxylon, pine cones, molluscs, and cetacean bones. The barnacles include A. sloveniensis, Amphibalanus venustus, and Perforatus perforatus—many with opercula retained within the shells. A. venustus retains some of the original shell color. This is the second record of barnacle–plant associations from the Central Paratethys from Kamnik and Trbovlje. The paleoecology and paleogeography of the site are discussed.
