Mechanosensory Lateral Line

Publisher Summary The mechanosensory lateral line system allows fishes to respond to unidirectional or oscillatory water movement at relatively short distances. Effective lateral line stimuli may arise from prey or may be generated by water flow over environmental obstacles. The lateral line system transduces vibratory reproductive signals in salmon and facilitates rheotaxis. Additionally, efferent input and other inputs contribute to, or modify lateral-line-mediated behavior; and the mechanosensory lateral line system responds to noncompressible, local flow in the near field. There are distinct differences in the functional attributes of narrow and widened head canal systems. Increased canal width, the presence of a flexible instead of a stiff canal roof, and increased size of neuromasts (typical of widened canals) all contribute to increased neuromast sensitivity, but increased response time of widened canal systems. Additionally, the response properties of extremely wide canals are similar to that of superficial neuromasts. This could account for the evolution of both widened canals and reduced canals (where superficial neuromasts predominate) in deep sea taxa.
