The relationship between the length of the cupulae of free neuromasts and feeding ability in larvae of the willow shiner Gnathopogon elongatus caerulescens (Teleostei, Cyprinidae
Free mechanosensory neuromasts of larval fishes have been described as playing a complementary role to vision in feeding behaviour (Disler, 1971; Iwai, 1972a,b). In certain species or under limited conditions, free neuromasts play a major role in detecting prey. The larvae of mottled sculpin Cottus...
