Underwater sound is directional and can convey important information about the
surrounding environment or the animal emitting the sound. Therefore, sound is a major …

My interest in fish bioacoustics was ignited more than 50 years ago and resulted in a zigzag
time travel between various interesting problems that were unsettled at the time. The present …

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

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 …

Background Several teleost species have evolved anterior extensions of the swim bladder
which come close to or directly contact the inner ears. A few comparative studies have …

" This is a coursebook and reference guide for ichthyology courses that will also serve as a
tool for ichthyologists, fisheries scientists, marine biologists, and vertebrate zoologists. It will …

Several recent studies have shown that some larval fishes will approach underwater
speakers that broadcast reef noise, leading to the hypothesis that larval fishes use acoustic …

The paper lists basic data on the role of sounds in fish behavior. The involvement of acoustic
signaling in the control of reproductive, territorial, agonistic, aggressive, social, and feeding …

The mechanosensory lateral line system is the flow sensing system present in all 34 000+
species of fishes. Its neuromast receptor organs, located on the skin or in bony canals on the …

Fishes have evolved the largest diversity of inner ears among vertebrates. While G. Retzius
introduced us to the diversity of the gross morphology of fish ears in the late nineteenth …
