Among the most common predators on barnacles are whelks. They are able to grind through the calcareous exoskeletons of barnacles and feed on the softer inside parts. Mussels also prey on barnacle larvae. [30] Another predator on barnacles is the starfish species Pisaster ochraceus. [31] [32]

The best thing about Herge’s creation, believes Farr, is that he’s not a superhero. “He can’t actually do anything more than we can, so he has credibility.” Is that it? Farr pauses. “The other thing I have learned is that people who like Tintin tend, on the whole, to be nice people.” So imbued with current affairs were Hergé’s storylines, says Farr, that the day after he died, the French newspaper Libération was able to illustrate every single news story with a Tintin frame. “The Blue Lotus anticipates Pearl Harbour,” he says. “Tintin was on the moon 16 years before Armstrong. And I’m sure that, if and when the yeti is finally found, it will be just like Hergé drew it in Tintin in Tibet.” Barnacles have two distinct larval stages, the nauplius and the cyprid, before developing into a mature adult.

It is not known how they enlarge their shell. Most probably they use a chemical to dissolve the inner layers whilst new layers are added to the outer shell.

Barnacles are a type of arthropod constituting the subclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea, [1] and are hence related to crabs and lobsters. Barnacles are exclusively marine, and tend to live in shallow and tidal waters, typically in erosive settings. Around 1,000 barnacle species are currently known. [2] Half-timbered houses like this appeared in the original edition of the story, but were revised to be more in keeping with Scottish architecture in the 1966 version. Assouline, Pierre (2009). Herge: The Man Who Created Tintin. Oxford University Press. p.222. ISBN 9780195397598. The flesh of some barnacles is routinely consumed by humans, including Japanese goose barnacles ( e.g. Capitulum mitella), and goose barnacles ( e.g. Pollicipes pollicipes), a delicacy in Spain and Portugal. [50] I imagine that the translators enjoyed translating Hergé’s comic books and putting their own English spin on them, just as much as thousands of children and adults alike have enjoyed them ever since.You can find the English translations of Tintin in the Junior Fiction (JF) section of the library on floor two at JF HER and the original French language versions at 741.5 HER. If you would like to find out more about translation or corpus linguistics, there are several books available in the CCCU Library or you can read the Library guide to Corpus software at https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/library/docs/Corpus-Software.pdf
