Having investigated the impacts of the European Green Crab on the intertidal zone community, the Department of Fish and Wildlife
is considering using parasitic barnacles (Sacculina) to control the crab. Given what you know about the importance of species interactions to community structure, what would you suggest should be learned about this parasitic barnacle species before it is introduced into the intertidal community you have been studying
The method of controlling the crabs by parasitic barnacle species I suggest should be learn before its introduction because this method provides valuable knowledge about the method the parasitic barnacle species control the crabs population. This barnacle species is a parasite that feeds on the crabs, it controls the population of crab by not killing the crabs but attack on the reproductive part of the crabs that leads to infertility and as a result the population of the crabs are decreases and controlled.
