To understand the role of pre-recruitment processes (supply of larvae and recruitment) in the maintenance of an intertidal barnacle (Chthamalus challengeri Hoek) patch, the availability of cyprid larvae and the recruitment on natural pebble substrata was monitored on the Magarisaki pebble shore (Amakusa, Kyushu, Japan) during 1995 and 1996. Also, a hypothesis that predation and/or bulldozing by mobile intertidal mollusks during the post-recruitment period could be an important factor in mortality of these barnacles was tested. The collapse of the adult population and the consequent disappearance of the patch were observed by the middle of 1995. The larval availability was low (@ 6 cyprid larvae/100 l), as was the recruitment (@ 30 recruits/25 cm²). The recruits experienced high mortality, preventing them becoming adults able to maintain the patch. In 1996, a similar pattern of availability of the cyprid larvae, and even lower recruitment occurring only at the upper intertidal level was observed. A mobile mollusks exclusion experiment failed to detect any significant differences among the treatments, supporting the null hypothesis that the observed pattern of distribution was not caused by predation by mobile mollusks. There is my suggestion that the low availability of larvae and the low level of recruitment caused the non-maintenance of the patch. Para entender o papel dos processos pré-recrutamento (suprimento de larvas e recrutamento) na manutenção de um "patch" de uma craca da região entremarés (Chthamalus challengeri Hoek), foram monitorados a disponibilidade de larvas cipris e o recrutamento em substrato natural no litoral rochoso de Magarisaki (Amakusa, Kyushu, Japão) durante 1995 e 1996. Também foi testada a hipótese de que predação por moluscos móveis durante o pós-recrutamento poderia ser um importante fator na mortalidade destas cracas. Foi observado o colapso da população adulta e o conseqüente desaparecimento do "patch" em 1995. A disponibilidade de larvas foi baixa (@ 6 larvas cipris /100 l), assim como o recrutamento (@ 30 recrutas/25 cm²). Os recrutas tiveram alta mortalidade, impedindo-os de se tornarem adultos capazes de manter o "patch". Em 1996, foi observado um padrão similar de disponibilidade de larvas cipris e um recrutamento ainda menor, ocorrendo apenas na região do supralitoral. A exclusão dos moluscos móveis não detectou nenhuma diferença significativa entre os tratamentos, suportando a hipótese nula de que o padrão de distribuição observado não é causado por predação por moluscos. É minha sugestão que a baixa disponibilidade de larvas e o baixo recrutamento causaram a não manutenção do "patch" de cracas
