A fish’s lateral line is a series of pores on the side of the body. For fish that have scales, those pores are holes right through the scales located on the lateral line.

John Montgomery, a fish biologist at the University of Auckland, says that if aquarium-wall reflections really are a problem, a fish’s lateral line system might simply degrade, much as how ...

If you are fishing a nymph or streamer, imparting natural movement can trigger a trout to strike. See It In Action The best way to get a sense of how trout use their lateral line system is to get ...

The lateral line system is composed of a canal embedded in the scales along the side of the body of a fish, around its eyes and on its lower jaw, which contain small groups of sensory hair cells ...

Scientists have created robotic fish with a simulated lateral line, to help them navigate by detecting changes in water pressure. We’ve already seen several underwater robots that mimic the ...

Scientists have developed robots with a new sense -- lateral line sensing. All fish have this sensing organ but so far it had no technological counterpart on human-made underwater vehicles.

An EU-funded project has developed robot fish with lateral line sensing, a sensing organ common to fish with no technological counterpart in man-made underwater vehicles. In an article published in ...
