Do fish have a lateral line system?
The lateral line is a system of sense organs; neuromasts situated along/in the lateral line detect movement and vibration in water. The system is important in schooling and predatory behaviour, as well as in general for spatial awareness. It allows detection of movement outside of the range of vision, or in conditions that reduce visibility. Blind fish will orientate towards movement in the same way as fish that are able to see, but disruption of the lateral line also disrupts the response to movement.
Does the lateral line system on a fish have a function?
