In the case of barnacles and whales, barnacles are the species which gets benefited from this relationship as they attach to the belly or back of a whale's body and then feed on the microorganisms while whales are neither befitted nor harmed by this association.

Answer:
A commensalistic relationship is one sides but neutral for the other party. Barnacles live on whales but whales are not directly affected by them. I do not believe the barnacle population decrease would affect whales at all.
