“…A similar range of Reynolds numbers (0.09-0.9) may be obtained for the green swordtail from the data of Zeiske (1973) and Kux et al (1978Kux et al ( , 1988table 2); the latter range is likely to be an underestimate, however (appendix A.6.2 in the electronic supplementary material).…”

“…The estimated average velocities in the olfactory chamber of the striped panchax and green swordtail (table 2) are an order of magnitude greater than those measured in the interior of a model of the olfactory chamber of the green swordtail (Kux et al 1988). This discrepancy may be due to the fact that the model, which was 200 times larger than the actual olfactory chamber, also reproduced (a static version of ) the accessory sac at the back of the chamber; flow through the model chamber subsequently passed through this feature, an arrangement that may have had an adverse effect on the flow.…”

“…Very little work has been done in this area. Indeed, there have been only two detailed studies: one by Kux et al (1977Kux et al ( , 1978Kux et al ( , 1988 and the other by Nevitt (1991). This article develops some ideas mentioned in passing in the literature, including the effect of boundary layers on fish olfaction, how external flows might be harnessed to assist in ventilating the olfactory organ and the nature of the flow over the sensory region.…”

Flow into and around the olfactory chamber of a fish determines how odorant from the fish's immediate environment is transported to the sensory surface (olfactory epithelium) lining the chamber. Diffusion times in water are long, even over comparatively short distances (millimetres). Therefore, transport from the external environment to the olfactory epithelium must be controlled by processes that rely on convection (i.e. the bulk flow of fluid). These include the beating of cilia lining the olfactory chamber and the relatively inexpensive pumping action of accessory sacs. Flow through the chamber may also be induced by an external flow. Flow over the olfactory epithelium appears to be laminar. Odorant transfer to the olfactory epithelium may be facilitated in several ways: if the olfactory organs are mounted on stalks that penetrate the boundary layer; by the steep velocity gradients generated by beating cilia; by devices that deflect flow into the olfactory chamber; by parallel arrays of olfactory lamellae; by mechanical agitation of the chamber (or olfactory stalks); and by vortices. Overall, however, our knowledge of the hydrodynamics of fish olfaction is far from complete. Several areas of future research are outlined.

Diversity in the olfactory epithelium of bony fishes: Development, lamellar arrangement, sensory neuron cell types and transduction components

In this study we use a taxon-based approach to examine previous, as well as new findings on several topics pertaining to the peripheral olfactory components in teleost fishes. These topics comprise (1) the gross anatomy of the peripheral olfactory organ, including olfactory sensory neuron subtypes and their functional parameters, (2) the ultrastructure of the olfactory epithelium, and (3) recent findings regarding the development of the nasal cavity and the olfactory epithelium. The teleosts are living ray-finned fish, and include descendants of early-diverging orders (e.g., salmon), specialized descendants (e.g., goldfish and zebrafish), as well as the Acanthopterygii, numerous species with sharp bony rays, including perch, stickleback, bass and tuna. Our survey reveals that the olfactory epithelium lines a multi-lamellar olfactory rosette in many teleosts. In Acanthopterygii, there are also examples of flat, single, double or triple folded olfactory epithelia. Diverse species ventilate the olfactory chamber with a single accessory nasal sac, whereas the presence of two sacs is confined to species within the Acanthopterygii. Recent studies in salmonids and cyprinids have shown that both ciliated olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and microvillous OSNs respond to amino acid odorants. Bile acids stimulate ciliated OSNs, and nucleotides activate microvillous OSNs. G-protein coupled odorant receptor molecules (OR-, V1R-, and V2R-types) have been identified in several teleost species. Ciliated OSNs express the G-protein subunit G(alphaolf/s), which activates cyclic AMP during transduction. Localization of G protein subunits G(alpha0) and G(alphaq/11) to microvillous or crypt OSNs, varies among different species. All teleost species appear to have microvillous and ciliated OSNs. The recently discovered crypt OSN is likewise found broadly. There is surprising diversity during ontogeny. In some species, OSNs and supporting cells derive from placodal cells; in others, supporting cells develop from epithelial (skin) cells. In some, epithelial cells covering the developing olfactory epithelium degenerate, in others, these retract. Likewise, there are different mechanisms for nostril formation. We conclude that there is considerable diversity in gross anatomy and development of the peripheral olfactory organ in teleosts, yet conservation of olfactory sensory neuron morphology. There is not sufficient information to draw conclusions regarding the diversity of teleost olfactory receptors or transduction cascades.

“…The structure and/or functioning of the olfactory organ have been described in the basally branching gnathostome vertebrates, the Actinopterygii (Burne 1909; Chabanaud 1927; Teichmann 1954; Kapoor and Ojha 1972, 1973; Bashor et al 1974; Zeiske 1974; Døving et al 1977; Jakubowski and Kunysz 1979; Melinkat and Zeiske 1979; Zeiske et al 1979; Theisen 1982; Yamamoto 1982; Applebaum and Schemmel 1983; Kux et al 1988; Sinha and Sinha 1990; Webb 1993; Eastman and Lanoo 2001; Belanger et al 2003; Chakrabarti and Hazra Choudhry 2006; Kumari 2008; Kuciel et al 2011) and Elasmobranchii (Burne 1909; Teichmann 1954; Døving et al 1977). Many of these species have developed a mechanism involving the passive movement of water through the nose while fish stay in water flow or as a result of ciliary beating (isomates).…”

The mechanism of olfactory organ ventilation in Periophthalmus barbarus (Gobiidae, Oxudercinae)

Periophthalmus barbarus Linnaeus, 1766 has many adaptations for amphibious life as a consequence of tidal zone occupation. One of them is the ability to keep a little amount of water and air in mouth while on land or in hypoxic water, correlated with closing a gill lid for gas exchange improvement. It causes that mechanisms of olfactory organ ventilation described in other species of actinopterygians (compression of accessory nasal sac(s) by the skull and jaw elements while mouth and gill lid moving) are not in operation. There is a specific mechanism of olfactory organ ventilation independent on jaw and skull elements movements. Compression of accessory nasal sacs is possible by a0 contraction and it is a movement effect on bones combined by ligaments. This process can be observed on P. barbarus as lifting the rostral part of the head.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00435-012-0167-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
