Abstract
The tunica externa of the anterior sac of the swimbladder in Cyprinidae is highly extensible, but a large part of its compliance is associated with retardation times greater than one second. The compliance is only partly reversible. The significance of these properties is discussed in relation to a possible high-pass frequency filter for the Weberian apparatus.Keywords
