English term or phrase: barnacle

Ştiţi cumva dacă are o denumire specifică? Nu-l găsesc niciunde:(

"common name of the sedentary crustacean animals constituting the subclass Cirripedia. Barnacles are exclusively marine and are quite unlike any other crustacean because of the permanently attached, or sessile, mode of existence for which they are highly modified."

Lepas anatifera

Explanation:
În apă vedeam acum tot felul de vieţuitoare, peşti, crabi, iar pentru prima dată şi ciripedul Lepas anatifera, acele crustacee fixate care îşi filtrează hrana din apă, captând-o cu picioarele care ies din cochiliile care le fac să semene cu nişte moluşte. Această specie, care este ataşată de substrat printr-un peduncul cărnos, şi-a primit atât numele ştiinţific (anatifera înseamnă în latină „cea care face raţe”) cât şi din engleză (goose-neck barnacle) de la o credinţă medievală conform căruia specia de gâscă Branta leucopsis, care nu a fost observată niciodată în Evul Mediu să cuibărească în Europa temperată (cuibăreşte, la fel ca restul speciilor genului, doar în regiunile arctice) se naşte din aceste vieţuitoare (din acest motiv gâsca se numeşte în engleză barnacle goose, gâsca ciripedelor).

Barnacles

"Cirripedia" from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (1904). The crab at the centre is nursing the externa of the parasitic cirripede Sacculina
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Arthropoda

Subphylum: Crustacea

Class: Maxillopoda

Subclass: Thecostraca

Infraclass: Cirripedia
Burmeister, 1834

Superorders

Thoracica
Rhizocephala

A barnacle is a type of arthropod belonging to infraclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea and is hence distantly related to crabs and lobsters. Some authorities regard Cirripedia as a full class or subclass, and the orders listed at right are sometimes treated as superorders. Around 1,220 barnacle species are currently known. The name "Cirripedia" is Latin, meaning "curl-footed".

Barnacles were first fully studied and classified by Charles Darwin who published a series of monographs in 1851 and 1854. Darwin undertook this study at the suggestion of his friend Joseph Dalton Hooker, in order to understand at least one species before making the generalisations needed for his theory of evolution by natural selection [1].

ARTROPÓD, artropode, s.n. (La pl.) Încrengătură de animale nevertebrate, cu corpul format din inele articulate, cu membre perechi, simetrice şi articulate, şi cu schelet extern, chitinos; (şi la sg.) animal făcând parte din această încrengătură. ♢ (Adjectival) Animal artropod. – Din fr. arthropodes.
http://dexonline.ro/search.php?cuv=artropode

Barnacle, common name for marine INVERTEBRATES of subclass Cirripedia, class Crustacea. Barnacles, the only sessile CRUSTACEANS, have adopted an odd lifestyle: they stand on their heads and kick food into their mouths. Six appendages (cirri), operating like a miniature net, filter food from the water. The eyes and second antennae are absent and the body reduced; the carapace (shell) is covered with calcareous plates. Acorn barnacles are common on Canadian intertidal rocks; some members of this group are specialized for life attached to whales. The stalked goose barnacle is named for its resemblance to a bird neck and head.
