Abstract
In the sprat the utricular receptors are closely associated with the bullae, structures which convert pressures into liquid displacements, and with other structures concerned with detecting vibrating sources. This paper considers morphological features which relate to questions of mechanical coupling between utriculus and bulla, and of the number and orientation of the receptors.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
