Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2009
Extract
Campecopea hirsuta (Montagu) occurs in rock crevices, and among barnacles and the lichen Lichina in south-west Britain. It is particularly abundant on shores ex-posed to wave action, occurring most commonly at about M.T.L. and below on shallow slopes, and from M.T.L. to H.W.N. on steep slopes. Young Campecopea of about 1–5 mm long are released in late summer. Females attain a maximum length of 35 mm and males 4–0 mm, each having a life span of no more than 1½ years.
