Abstract
This paper on Gobius niger describes the ultrastructure of free neuromast papillae of both standard and mandibular types, emphasizing the polarity of the hair cells in each row or column. Evidence to suggest a functional difference between mandibular and standard neuromasts is reviewed, together with an hypothesis concerning the developmental origin of the mandibular row, relevant to the evolution of lateral line organs in general.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
