Marshall Islands Barnacles

This page presents a few of the barnacles from the Marshall Islands. Titgen (1987) listed nine species known from the Marshalls and speculated that there should be more, but the ones below appear to be the only ones we photographed.

We welcome corrections at uwkwaj@yahoo.com. Clicking on a thumbnail below brings up a page for that species.
