Abstract
The information received by a fish about a vibrating source will depend on the patterns of excitation of various groups of receptors. Sprats, herrings and other clupeoids have bullae containing gas which are closely related to the sense organs of the utriculi, sacculi and the lateral lines. Structures of particular relevance to the functioning of this system are described and an account of their mechanical responses to low frequency pressure stimuli is given.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
