Morphological studies on the cupulae of free neuromasts along with the growth of larvae in cyprinid fish by Mukai, Yukinori, Kobayashi, Hiroshi

“…On the other hand, in G. elongatus caerulescens that lives in lakes, the cupulae were long and did not change in length until the 72nd day after hatching in the juvenile stage, but it changed in shape from a stick to a flat type like marine algae (laminaria). The surface area of these cupulae is larger than that of Z. platypus, and therefore the cupulae of G. elongatus caerulescens will be more receptive to mechanical stimulus by water flow. …”
