From: Are accessory hearing structures linked to inner ear morphology? Insights from 3D orientation patterns of ciliary bundles in three cichlid species

Figure 8

SEM micrographs of the three otolith types in the studied cichlid species. Utricular, saccular, and lagenar otoliths of E. maculatus (A-F), H. guttatus (G-L), and S. tinanti (M-R) are shown in ventral (A, G, M) or medial views (C, E, I, K, O, Q), and in lateral (B, H, N) or dorsal views (D, F, J, L, P, R). Scale bars, 250 μm (utricular and lagenar otoliths), 500 μm (saccular otoliths). a, anterior; d, dorsal; l, lateral; m, medial; v, ventral.
