Development of free neuromasts with special reference to sensory polarity in larvae of the willow shiner, Gnathopogon elongatus caerulescens (teleostei, cyprinidae)

To find how larval fish sense mechanical stimuli via their free neuromasts, we examined morphological changes in free neuromasts in the larval willow shiner, Gnathopogon elongatus caerulescens. Free neuromasts were found on the body surface of newly hatched larvae and their number increased on both...
