通过观察在不同材质表面上黏附的网纹藤壶底板的微观结构,发现不同的基底材料对网纹藤壶底板结构有明显影响。在底板不同区域,其微观结构呈现多样化,这可能与底板处于不同形成期或与底板承担的侧壁链接、藤壶胶运输等功能有关。网纹藤壶底板结构复杂性高、可塑性强,这为藤壶适应严酷多变的海洋环境提供了必要的结构基础。
In this paper, the microstructure of base plates of Balanus reticulatus which adhered to different materi-als was studied. It was found that the microstructure of base plates showed different appearances on different sub-strates. So it is speculated that the substrate has a significant impact on the base plate structure. In addition, differ-ent texture features between the edge and center part of the same base plate was also found, which may be related to the function of base plate at different developing stage, such as the stabilization of lateral plates, and the transpor-tion of barnacle cement. The results of this study shed light on the complexity and plasticity of barnacle base plates, which may provide evidence to the adaption of barnacles to the adverse environment variations.
