Figure 1 in The pattern of the mechanosensory lateral line on the caudal fin of the two deep-water gobiid fishes Deltentosteus collonianus and Deltentosteus quadrimaculatus (Teleostei: Gobiidae)

Figure 1. Stylized pattern of the lateral line system of the caudal fin in Gobiidae with different numbers of neuromast rows: (A) plesiomorphic pattern; (B–D) advanced pattern. (A) Three longitudinal rows, Gobius niger; (B) four longitudinal neuromast rows, Deltentosteus quadrimaculatus; (C) six longitudinal neuromast rows, Deltentosteus collonianus; (D) eight longitudinal neuromast rows, Aphia minuta. (C, D) Neuromasts of lcd, lcm, and lcv are shown enlarged. In most Gobiidae, the neuromasts decrease in size rearwards, as shown in (A) only. lcd, dorsal longitudinal row; lcm, medial longitudinal row; lct, transversal row; lcv, ventral longitudinal row.
