With the increasing area of restored mangrove vegetation, marine-fouling organisms, barnacle in particular, are suggested to be an important factor affecting the survival and growth of mangrove seedlings. This paper reviewed the biochemical and ecological studies on the settlement of barnacle, its damage on mangrove seedlings, and its chemical control. The settlement and distribution model of barnacle on mangroves is significantly affected by the environmental factors such as seawater salinity, tide inundating depth, canopy density, hydrographical regime, and some biotic factors, but few are known about the amino acid composition and one-dimension structure of barnacle's adhesive proteins, especially their processes and mechanisms of cross-link, aggregation, and adhesion. More attention should be paid on understanding the damage mechanisms and its weight of barnacle on mangrove seedlings, and the study on the response and adaptation models of individual plant in nature mangrove ecosystem to barnacle disturbance should be strengthened, which are potentially valuable for the research of barnacle control.
随着红树林植被恢复面积的不断增加，海洋污损生物，尤其是藤壶，被认为是影响红树林幼苗存活和生长的一个重要因素。本文综述了关于藤壶附着、其对红树林幼苗的损害以及化学防治的生化和生态学研究。藤壶在红树林上的附着和分布模式受到海水盐度、潮水淹没深度、树冠密度、水文状况等环境因素以及一些生物因素的显著影响，但对于藤壶粘附蛋白的氨基酸组成和一维结构，尤其是它们的交联、聚集和粘附过程及机制却知之甚少。应更加关注了解藤壶对红树林幼苗的损害机制及其权重，并加强对天然红树林生态系统中个体植物对藤壶干扰的响应和适应模式的研究，这对于藤壶防治研究具有潜在价值。
