IDA007: Mussels, Barnacles & Limpets - Coastal Species
Common animal inhabitants of the mid-lower shore on rocky coasts, mussels (Mytelus edulis), barnacles (various species) and common limpets (Patella vulgata) compete for space between themselves and with algae. Who will "win" the competition depends on the environmental conditions on the shore.
