| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The lateral line systems (both lateral line canals and neuromasts) were observed in detail in many teleosts, and compared them between fast swimmers (including fishes inhabiting fast or turbulent waters) and slow simmers (including fishes inhabiting quiet areas). Judging from conditions of the lateral line system in more than 170 species (107 genera, 53 families, 16 orders), the hypotheses that superficial neuromasts are more abundant in slow swimmers or fishes inhabiting quiet areas (e.g., sebastids, pomacentrids and tripterygiids) and canal neuromasts are better developed in fast swimmers or fishes inhabiting fast or turbulent waters (e.g., some scombrids, carangids and salmonids) are not supported. On the other hand, within the same family or genus, test of the hypotheses are still needed.
