FIG. 12 in Organization and Ontogeny of a Complex Lateral Line System in a Goby (Elacatinus lori), with a Consideration of Function and Ecology

FIG. 12. Neuromast morphology in species of Tigrigobius (lateral views; rostral to left). (A) T. multifasciatus (AMNH 23621)—radiating superficial lines on the cheek (3, 4, 5, b, d; see Fig. 3B). (B) Lines 5 and b (see box in A), which have a tip-to-tip arrangement. (C) T. gemmatus (AMNH 26076)— preopercular canal (PO) pores (e, c) and opercular series (lines ot, os, oi, forming the ''F'' on the operculum). (D) T. gemmatus (AMNH 26076)— superficial neuromast line on trunk just caudal to tip of pectoral fin when against body. (E) T. dilepis (AMNH 250269)—diamond-shaped superficial neuromasts in line os (ventral horizontal line in ''F'' on operculum) with ''tip-to-tip'' arrangement and hair cell orientation (double-headed arrows) perpendicular to line. (F) T. gemmatus (AMNH 26076)—first two diamond-shaped superficial neuromasts in line b (see box in B) with ''tip-to-tip'' arrangement and hair cell orientation (double-headed arrows) perpendicular to line. Scale bars: A, C, 200 lm; B, D, 100 lm; E–F, 20 lm.
