| Résumé : | The finding of two specimens of the pedunculate barnacle Conchoderma virgatum virgatum (Spengler, 1790) in the western Mediterranean is reported. This is the first report which details the identification of this organism at the subspecies level in the Mediterranean. The barnacles were attached to the trunk of one individual of the copepod Pennella instructa Wilson, 1817, parasite of the swordfish Xiphias gladius Linnaeus, 1758. A description of the specimens found is given and some observations are made on the choice of the site of settlement of this organism. |
