## Abstract The presence and distribution of FMRFamideβlike peptides (FLPs) in the cyprid larvae of the barnacle __Balanus amphitrite__ were investigated using immunohistochemical methods. Barnacles are considered to be one of the most important constituents of animal fouling communities, and the c
In this study, the presence and distribution of FMRFamide-like immunoreactivity in the alimentary tract of barnacle Balanus amphitrite were investigated. A net of nerve fibers strongly immunoreactive to FMRFamide-like molecules was localized in the posterior midgut and hindgut. Positive varicose ner
