A method for early detecting of climate-related changes in littoral communities has been developed using bioindication based on the dynamics of estuarine populations of the barnacle Semibalanus balanoides (Crustacea, Cirripedia). It has been established that climate-related changes in barnacle abundance depend on the slope and topography of the biotope. The population's response to environmental changes in a littoral biotope with a significant steep occurs later and is less pronounced than in a biotope with a flat landscape.
