The Five Senses
■ Sight = eyes
■ smell =Fish have nostrils called nares which are located on the snout above their mouths.
■ taste = Fish are able to taste with their snout, mouth, tongue, and throat. A fish’s tongue has taste buds just like a human; however they are unable to retract their tongue.
■hearing/ feeling = Fish have two ways in which they can hear; via otoliths, or a lateral line. Otoliths are inner ear bones in a fish’s skull. Tiny hairs called cilia are located on the otolith which can be stimulated by vibrations in the water. These vibrations are interpreted as a sound by the fish’s brain.
■ Fish also have another sensory organ called the Lateral Line. A lateral line is a sense organ of microscopic pores used to detect movement and vibration in the surrounding water
