Zebrafish Weberian apparatus and otoliths. Coloured 3D micro-computed tomography (CT) scan of part of the skull (left),the first few vertebrae,and Weberian apparatus of an adult zebrafish. The Weberian apparatus is part of the auditory system in fish,and conveys sound amplified by the swim bladder to the inner ear via a series of paired bones: the tripus (triangular structures in the middle),the intercalarium,scaphium and os suspensorium. The otoliths (pink,at the base of the skull) are three paired structures of the inner ear involved in maintaining equilibrium | |
