Abstract: Studies on the breeding, attachment and growth of Balanus amphitrite amphitrite in prawn-ponds show that its breeding period is from April to October, the attaching period is from May to October, and the water temperature is 18.9-20.5℃. Its attaching amount is related to the water temperature and the roughness, colour and angle of theboard. The maximum amount of attachment is 330137 individuals·m^-2, and the maximum wet weight is 13868.33g·m^-2. It is growing rapidly or slowly when its base diameteris less or more than 10.5mm. The factors limiting its distribution in Zhoushan water arethe wave and the transparency.
