Hello, I am a Long Island University, Southampton College student currently participating in an internship at Southwest Fisheries Science Center (NMFS/NOAA) under the supervision of Tim Gerrodette and Paula Olson. My research project is on the commensal whale barnacle Xenobalanus globicipitus within the eastern tropical pacific. I have found 4 species that have been previously unrecorded to my knowledge. They are Humpback whales, Spinner dolphins, Bryde's whales, and long-beaked common dolphins (D. capensis). If anyone has seen this barnacle on any of these cetaceans, or any cetaceans for that matter, could you please let me know. I am also trying to compile a list of known hosts and occurrences, so this information can be helpful. For a picture of this barnacle, see
