| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to reveal the developmental process of laterality in morphology and feeding behavior of scale-eating cichlids, Perissodus microleps (P.m.) in Lake Tanganyika and Genyochromis mento (G.m.) in Lake Malawi. We collected these cichlids and analyzed the scales found inside the stomach and lower jaw morphology of them. Results indicated that both cichlids showed attack side preference corresponding to the left-right difference of mouth morphology. Further, we successfully bred P.m. in aquarium and found that P.m. had an innate kinematic laterality and that the attach side preference was gradually strengthened through scale-eating experience. We also succeeded in observing prey attach of G.m. in aquarium. The degree of attack side preference and the mouth asymmetry of G. m. was relatively weaker than that of P.m. Taken together, it is suggested that these cichlids develop, through experience, the lateralized hunting of prey fish by using their lateralized mouth.
