Sensory Tuning of Lateral Line Receptors in Antarctic Fish to the Movements of Planktonic Prey
The suitability of the lateral line system of fish and aquatic amphibia for the detection of planktonic prey was examined in the antarctic fish Pagothenia borchgrevinki (family Nototheniidae). The best responses of primary afferent lateral line neurons to waterborne vibrations were recorded at frequ...
