Abstract

This paper presents information about new finds of the goose barnacle Lepas anatifera Linnaeus, 1758 in the Barents Sea. Data on the capture site, depth, and date, as well as pictures and a brief description of the captured individuals, are given. Possible causes of the appearance of this species in the Barents Sea are analyzed.
