Pectoral Fin and Opercular Movements of Atlantic Salmon ( Salmo salar ) Alevins
The pectoral fins of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) alevins change in shape and orientation as development proceeds. They flutter rhythmically at 100–150/min whereas opercula move infrequently in newly hatched alevins. Ablation of pectoral fins induces increased opercular movements. Rhythmic movement...
