  2. Sensory systems in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_systems_in_fish

    Fish and some aquatic amphibians detect hydrodynamic stimuli via a lateral line. This system consists of an array of sensors called neuromasts along the length of the fish's body. [11] Neuromasts can be free-standing (superficial neuromasts) or within fluid-filled canals (canal neuromasts).

    Oblique view of a goldfish (Carassius auratus), showing pored scales of the lateral line system. The lateral line, also called the lateral line organ (LLO), is a system of sensory organs found in fish, used to detect movement, vibration, and pressure gradients in the surrounding water.

    A sensor fish is a small, plastic tubular device containing sensors. It is designed to record information such as the physical stresses that a fish experiences while ...

  5. Fisheries acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisheries_acoustics

    Biomass estimation is a method of detecting and quantifying fish and other marine organisms using sonar technology. [1] An acoustic transducer emits a brief, focused pulse of sound into the water. If the sound encounters objects that are of different density than the surrounding medium, such as fish, they reflect some sound back toward the source.

  6. Vision in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_in_fish

    Usually, light enters through the fish eye at the cornea and passes through the pupil in order to reach the lens. Most fish species have a fixed size of the pupil while a few species have a muscular iris that allows for the adjustment of the pupil diameter. Fish eyes have a more spherical lens than other terrestrial vertebrates.

  7. Ampullae of Lorenzini - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampullae_of_Lorenzini

    Ampullae of Lorenzini are physically associated with and evolved from the mechanosensory lateral line organs of early vertebrates.Passive electroreception using ampullae is an ancestral trait in the vertebrates, meaning that it was present in their last common ancestor. [7]

  8. Electroreception and electrogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroreception_and...

    The elephantnose fish is a weakly electric mormyrid fish which generates an electric field with its electric organ and then uses its electroreceptive knollenorgans and mormyromasts to locate nearby objects by the distortions they cause in the electric field.

  9. Communication in aquatic animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_in_aquatic...

    Fish release pheromones through urine using their excretory pores and gills. [21] Amphibians such as frogs and toads produced water-soluble pheromones using their breeding glands. [ 24 ] Mammals such as dolphins release water-soluble pheromones in their excretions, while pinnipeds have scent glands around the vibrissae and hindquarters that are ...
