“…The sensory hair cells found on the mac ula communis and the cristae are similar to the sensory hair cells found in the ears of other vertebrates including lampreys [Hoshino, 1975;Lowenstein et al, 1968] and bony fishes [Popper, 1979;Popper and Hoxter, 1981;Wegner, 1982], Two types of ciliary bundles are found on the sensory hair cells in Petromyzon. One bun dle, which is similar to the F2 bundle of bony fishes [Popper, 1977] and the type B bundle in Entosphenus, has a long kinocilium and relatively short stereocilia.…”

The inner ear of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, was examined using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Many of the nonsensory surfaces of the ear chamber are lined by numerous, noninnervated, multiciliated epithelial cells. Each multiciliated epithelial cell has 43–66 true cilia projecting from its apical surface into the lumen of the ear. Although the cilia leave the cell individually, all of the cilia from a single cell come together just above the apical cell surface and are held together by a cross-network of fibrillar material. The cell bodies of the multiciliated cells sit upon a basal lamina which overlies a collagen-filled matrix. Petromyzon has typical vertebrate sensory hair cells on the cristae of the two semicircular canals as well as on the main sensory epithelium, the macula communis. Cell bodies of the sensory hair cells are similar to hair cells of other vertebrates. However, unlike other fishes, the sensory hair cells in Petromyzon have striated organelles between the nucleus and the apical cell membrane. The hair cells are innervated by afferent and efferent nerve fibers.

“…A second physiological process that could affect hearing ability is the ongoing addition of inner-ear sensory hair cells (Lanford et al 1996). Post-embryonic proliferation of hair cells in otolithic endorgans has been seen in various teleosts and elasmobranchs (Popper & Hoxter 1981, Corwin 1983, Lombarte & Popper 1994, but the effect that this increase in hair cells has on hearing is still unclear (Popper & Fay 1999).…”

Recent evidence suggests that pelagic larvae of coral reef fishes are active in their dispersal and return to a reef; however, the mechanisms used to navigate are unknown. Sound is a potentially important cue for organisms in marine environments, especially in noisy environments like coral reefs. The auditory brainstem response (ABR) technique was used to measure hearing of a wide size range of sergeant major damselfish Abudefduf saxatilis. Complete audiograms were measured for 32 fish ranging in size from 11 to 121 mm. Significant effects of standard length on hearing thresholds at 100 and 200 Hz were detected. At these lower frequencies, thresholds increased with an increase in size. All fish were most sensitive to the lower frequencies (100 to 400 Hz). The frequency range over which fish could detect sounds was dependent upon the size of the fish; the larger fish (> 50 mm) were more likely to respond to higher frequencies (1000 to 1600 Hz). A. saxatilis has poor hearing sensitivity in comparison to other hearing generalists including other species of pomacentrids. In consideration of the high hearing thresholds found in this study in comparison to recorded ambient reef noise, it is unlikely that sound plays a significant role in the navigation of the pelagic larvae of sergeant majors returning to the reef from long distances (>1 km), but it may play a role in short-range orientation (<1 km).

“…9), and the crista superior and inferior are proportionally more important than the colliculum (Popper and Hoxter, 1981;Lombarte and Fortuno, 1992;Ladich and Popper, 2001). The macula faces the colliculum, and prevents otolith growth at this level (Pannella, 1980;Popper and Hoxter, 1981;Lombarte and Fortuno, 1992).…”

Otolith crystals (in Carapidae): Growth and habit

The biomineralization of otoliths results mainly from the release of soluble Ca 2+, which is in turn precipitated as CaCO 3 crystals. In some Carapidae, sagittae sections have been shown to reveal a three-dimensional asymmetry with a nucleus close to the sulcal side, an unusual position. This study seeks to understand otolith formation in Carapus boraborensis. The unusual shape of the otolith is partly explained by the distribution of the epithelium cells, and particularly the sensory epithelium. Experimental evidence shows for the first time that aragonite growth takes place along the c-axis. These aragonite needles present two different habits. On the sulcal side is found the acicular form resulting from rapid growth during a short period of time. On the anti-sulcal side, the prismatic form seen there is due to a slower growth speed over longer periods. The otolith surface was observed each hour during a period of 24 h in fishes reared in similar conditions. This allowed for the first time the direct observation on the otolith surface of the deposition of the two layers (L-zone and D-zone). In C. boraborensis, the organic-rich layer (D-zone) develops during the day, whereas the CaCO 3 layer (L-zone) seems to be deposited during the night.
