Possible Mechanisms for Directional Hearing and Pitch Discrimination in Fish

摘要: The sense of hearing in fish is anatomically localized to the pars inferior labyrinth (comprising sacculus and lagena) while site equilibrium function superior (utriculus ampullae semicircular canals) (Fig. 1) (von Frisch Stetter, 1932; von Frisch, 1936, 1938; Dijkgraaf, 1949). functional role various parts not absolutely strict, however, since lagena seems have essentially an elasmobranchs (Lowenstein Roberts, 1949, 1951) auditory teleosts. It has also been shown that utriculus may perceive sound teleosts (Dijkgraaf,
