Abstract
Annual surveys carried out in south-west England since 1949 show that the arctic-boreal barnacle, Balanus balanoides , which was uncommon or rare in i960, has increased greatly in abundance during the colder years since then. Its numbers now approach those recorded in the 1930's, and there has been a corresponding reduction in abundance of the warm-water species, Chthamalus stellatus .

Since both Chthamalus stellatus and Balanus balanoides are at the limits of their respective distributions in the British Isles, these limits may be particularly sensitive to any general change in the environment.

The abundance of the common intertidal barnacles Chthamalus stellatus and Balanus balanoides has fluctuated further since 1951–52, and the relation between the population changes and environmental variations is analyzed.

Chthamalus stellatus is a littoral barnacle very similar in habitat and general ecological relations to another littoran barnacle, Balanus balanoides, but the north and south ranges of the two species overlap in the British Isles and in France.

From the distributions it can be inferred that the vital activities of the two species are keyed to different temperature ranges, which implies that for each species there is an optimum range of temperature, above or below which the species becomes less efficient at feeding, respiring or reproducing.

It is suggested that the plankton production cycle may have become slightly smoother, and possibly a little more efficient, with less' wastage' to the bottom-fauna, the biomass of which may also have suffered indirectly from the increased stocks of pelagic fish.

Comparison of the recent surveys with investigations back to 1903 confirms earlier suggestions of a general tendency towards an increase in southern forms and a decrease in northern forms in the western English Channel, although there has been considerable fluctuation from time to time.

The range of temperature over which the Cirri were active, and the frequency of beating of the cirri at different temperatures were measured in a further five species of barnacles from a variety of habitats, and it is suggested that the species may contain physiological races adapted to different climates.

The barnacles at five localities in the Plymouth area were examined as a check on the general application of observations made previously, and the increased growth rate at low water, where food is abundant, is compared with the similar effect observed in wave-exposed conditions in the Isle of Man.

In the North Atlantic area there may be only two main distributional groups of species of acorn barnacles, Arctic and Tropical, overlapping in the Temperate regions, with few or no intermediate forms, and that there is as yet no evidence for the existence of physiological races in these species.

It is suggested that the Plymouth herring fishery failed in competition with the pilchard stock and that the other biological events which took place in the early thirties were a consequence of this postulated competitive change.
