The eye muscles and their innervation in Chaetodon trifasciatus (Pisces, Teleostei, Chaetodontidae)

An Analysis of Extraocular Muscle Forces in the Piked Dogfish (Squalus acanthias)

“…). This would be contrary to that of the gudgeon, carpet shark, and butterflyfish with centrally located white fibers, with red fibers toward the periphery (Kordylewski, ; Housley and Montgomery, ; Bauchot et al, ). Although different fiber types are known to exist in fish extraocular muscles it is believed that all fiber types are recruited for all types of eye movement (Lennerstrand and Baker, ).…”

“…The extraocular muscles are assumed to be composed primarily of fast-twitch white fibers, for which the specific tension is known for elasmobranchs (Lou et al, 2002). Among fishes, studies on the extraocular muscles of pike (Esox lucius), goldfish (Carassius auratus), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), chameleon goby (Tridentiger trigonocephalus), Gudgeon (Gobio gobio), blue marlin (Makaira nigricans), butterflyfish (Chaetodon trifasciatus), and carpet shark (Cephaloscyllium isabellum) have found at least two fiber types, small diameter type I (red fibers, slower contraction) and large diameter type II (white fibers, faster contraction) fibers (Kilarsky and Bigaj, 1969;Kordylewski, 1974;Davey et al, 1975;Sterling, 1977;Housley and Montgomery, 1984;Kassem et al, 1988;Bauchot et al, 1989;Zawadowska, 1991;O'Brien et al, 1993). Histochemical analysis, however, identified up to six fiber types in the extraocular muscles of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) (Zawadowska and Kilarski, 1983).…”

Anatomical Studies on the Nervus Vagus of Alticus Kirkiimagnusi (Klausewitz, 1964)

“…The cranial nerves of some teleosts were studied by some authors such as Freihofer (1978) Other studies were performed on one cranial nerve or a group of cranial nerves in some other bony fishes. Kassem et al (1988) and Bauchot et al (1989) gave an account on the eye muscles nerves in Chaetodon trifasciatus and Tridentiger trigonocephalus, respectively. In addition, De Graaf (1990) studied the innervation of gills in Cyprinus carpio by dissection.…”
