Acoustico-lateralis system

  • Chapter
Cyprinid Fishes

Part of the book series: Fish & Fisheries Series ((FIFI,volume 3))

Abstract

The broadly accepted unity of the acoustico-lateralis system of fishes rests on the identity of ontogenetical origins and of the structure of the neuromasts (Fig. 11.1). Identity of origins has been demonstrated in Salmo (Wilson and Mattocks, 1897), but not in cyprinids. In Rutilus rutilus observed at hatching, the system develops from one distinct placode for the otic vesicle and two contiguous placodes for the lateral line (Lekander, 1949).
