Food uptake follows rules defined by feeding behaviour that determines the kind and
quantity of food ingested by fish larvae as well as how live prey and food particles are …

We described the developmental stages for the embryonic, larval and early juvenile periods
of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus to elucidate sequential events of craniofacial …

The numbers and positions of cells undergoing cell death and proliferation in the
neuromasts of 10 day old zebrafish larvae were assessed to investigate the ability of …

Morphological, physiological, behavioral, and developmental studies of the
mechanosensory lateral line system are used to define sources of morphological and …

Sensory systems enable animals to generate a representation of the environment. One
sensory system common to many aquatic vertebrates is the lateral line. This chapter reviews …

Fish acquire information about their aquatic environment by means of their mechanosensory
lateral-line system. This system consists of superficial and canal neuromasts that sense …

The development of the cranial lateral line canals and neuromast organs are described in
postembryonic zebrafish (0–80 days postfertilization). Cranial canal development …

Superficial neuromasts are structures that detect water flow on the surface of the body of fish
and amphibians. As a component of the lateral line system, these receptors are distributed …

Neurogenic placodes are focal ectodermal thickenings that give rise to the sensory neurons,
and in some cases, the receptor cells of vertebrate sensory systems. There are no markers …

Surveys and analyses of anatomical characters have allowed researchers to describe a
wealth of anatomical features and contribute to our evolutionary understanding of fishes for …
