“…Interspecific and intraspecific visual communication is associated with retinal specializations, eye size, and striking colour patterns (Fernald, ; Cruz and Lombarte, ), and it places emphasis into behavioural evolutionary theories (Cummings et al, ). However, under conditions in deep waters, the loss of vision may be compensated by the development of mechanoreceptor and chemoreceptor sensorial systems (Lombarte and Fortuño, ; Warrant and Locket, ; Kuciel, ).…”

Sagitta otolith shape was analysed in twenty sympatric rockfishes off the southern California coast (Northeastern Pacific). The variation in shape was quantified using canonical variate analysis based on fifth wavelet function decomposition of otolith contour. We selected wavelets because this representation allow the identifications of zones or single morphological points along the contour. The entire otoliths along with four subsections (anterior, ventral, posterodorsal, and anterodorsal) with morphological meaning were examined. Multivariate analyses (MANOVA) showed significant differences in the contours of whole otolith morphology and corresponding subsection among rockfishes. Four patterns were found: fusiform, oblong, and two types of elliptic. A redundancy analysis indicated that anterior and anterodorsal subsections contribute most to define the entire otolith shape. Complementarily, the eco-morphological study indicated that the depth distribution and strategies for capture prey were correlated to otolith shape, especially with the anterodorsal zone.

“…Among gobiids, the olfactory organ had only been described in juveniles and adults of a few species (Arvedlund et al ., ; Belanger et al ., ; Kim et al ., ; Kuciel ). Here, we have shown that the timing and overall pattern of development of the olfactory organ in E. lori and E. colini is typical of that found in other species of gobies, and in teleost fishes more generally.…”

Potential roles of smell and taste in the orientation behaviour of coral‐reef fish larvae: insights from morphology

An ontogenetic analysis of the olfactory organ and the number and distribution of internal taste buds was carried out in two neon gobies (Elacatinus lori and Elacatinus colini) with a goal of revealing morphological trends that might inform an understanding of the roles of olfaction and taste in larval orientation and settlement behavior. The pattern of development of the olfactory organ is unremarkable and enclosure of the olfactory epithelium occurs concurrently with metamorphosis and settlement in both species. Like other gobies, juvenile and adult E. lori and E. colini have one olfactory lamella, but they lack the accessory nasal sacs (present in some gobies) that could facilitate active olfactory ventilation (i.e., sniffing). A small number of taste buds are present at hatch with most found in the caudal region of the buccal cavity (on gill arches, roof of mouth). As taste bud number increases they demonstrate an anterior spread to the lips, buccal valves and tongue (i.e., basihyal). In the absence of an obvious ventilatory mechanism for the olfactory sacs, the water flows through the buccal cavity that occur with cyclic gill ventilation may allow the internal taste buds to play a role in chemical-mediated orientation and reef-seeking behavior in larval fishes.

“…Meanwhile, the mudskippers, Boleophtalmus boddarti and Scartelaos histophorus have two sacs: ethmoidal and lacrimal sacs . The single accessory nasal sac plays a role in water pumping by volume changes of the sac (Kuciel, 2013). Kuciel et al (2013) reported that some species of genus Periophthalmus show different forms of the sensory epithelium distribution: (a) an islet type in P. barbarus, P. variabilis, and P. chrysospilos or (b) a fascicular type in P. minutus and P. argentilineatus.…”

The Korean shuttles mudskipper Periophthalmus modestus has paired olfactory organs on its snout, consisting of anterior and posterior nostrils, a single olfactory canal with sensory and nonsensory epithelia, and a single accessory nasal sac. Its sensory epithelium consists of numerous islets forming a pseudostratified layer and contains various cells: olfactory receptor neurons, supporting cells, basal cells, lymphatic cells (LCs), and axon bundles. The sensory epithelium is a stratified squamous layer comprising stratified epithelial cells, mucous cells (MCs) with glycogen, flattened cells (FCs), LCs, and unidentified cells. Specific structures are as follows: (a) a tubular anterior nostril projecting outward, (b) a slit posterior nostril, (c) an elongated olfactory canal, (d) an ethmoidal accessory nasal sac, (e) axon bundles found only in the basal layer of the sensory epithelium, (f) FCs only at the top of the nonsensory epithelium, and (g) glycogen‐containing MCs. Such structures seem to be unique in that they have not been observed in most teleost fishes spending their whole life in water.
