The barnacles are only able to attach themselves to surfaces in the water. Since the surface is limited, barnacles are attaching themselves to the other barnacles, crowding the rock. The muscles were not able to grow or attach themselves off the surface of the rock. Same thing with the mussels that are growing on the rock. So not only barnacles are crowding the rock, but Mussels as well are crowding the rock.
Looking at the food chain & relationships between organisms can give you a good idea of theoretical cause and effects.
For example:
Starfish are the natural predators of the mussel. If the starfish, that eat the mussels, were to be taken out of the picture: there would most likely be a higher population of mussels.
