According to Google.com, barnacles are the same species of crustasion as Lobsters and Crabs and
Barnacles are of economic consequence as they often attach themselves to man-made structures, sometimes to the structure’s detriment. Particularly in the case of ships, they are classified as fouling organisms.[21]
Some barnacles are considered edible by humans, and goose barnacles (e.g. Pollicipes pollicipes), in particular, are a delicacy in Spain and Portugal.[22] The resemblance of this barnacle’s fleshy stalk to a goose’s neck gave rise in ancient times to the notion that geese, or at least certain seagoing species of wild goose, literally grew from the barnacle. Indeed, the word “barnacle” originally referred to a species of goose, the Barnacle goose Branta leucopsis, whose eggs and young were rarely seen by humans because it breeds in the remote Arctic.[23]
The picoroco barnacle is used in Chilean cuisine and is one of the ingredients in curanto.
