Structure and Function in Teleost Auditory Systems

  • Conference paper
Comparative Studies of Hearing in Vertebrates

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

In this chapter much of the recent literature on hearing in fishes has been brought together. First, the gross morphological and ultrastructural bases of sensitivity to the pressure and the motional components of underwater sound will be considered. This will be followed by a discussion of the behavioral and physiological literature on signal processing, particularly as it relates to the structure and function of the inner ear. The goal is to contribute to a greater understanding of the organizing principles of auditory processing by fishes, and by vertebrates in general, through emphasis on comparative issues and data. However, the central auditory system or the mechanism of localization, including the possible relationships between labyrinthine and lateral line function will not be considered since they are considered in other chapters (see Schuijf andBuwalda, Chapter 2; Bullock, Chapter 16; and Northcutt, Chapter 3).
