Abstract

Despite extensive studies on settlement of the cypris larva of Balanus amphitrite amphitrite Darwin (Crustacea: Cirripedia), the fine structure of the putative settlement receptors of this species has not been described. This study presents observations made with the scanning electron microscope of the fourth antennular segment and its associated setae.
