What is Gross and ultrastructural development of the saccule of the toadfish Opsanus tau about?

The development of the saccule of the inner ear in the toadfish was studied using light and scanning electron microscopy. Development was studied from the early embryo (2-3 days postfertilization), when the otocyst first forms, to the early-aged juvenile when the development of the inner ear approximates that of the adult (4 weeks postfertilization). The ultrastructural features examined included the morphological sequence of ciliary bundle growth, the development of orientation patterns of the ciliary bundles, and the relation of the ultrastructural development to overall gross development. Gross development may be divided into four distinct morphological stages. Stage I encompasses the time from initial formation of the otocyst until the start of stage II, which is the stage when the pars inferior begins migrating ventrally. In stage III the pars inferior continues to elongate ventrally. Stage IV starts when the pars inferior elongates in a rostral and caudal direction. The ear attains its adult shape in stage IV. The differentiation of the sensory cells begins during stage I. During the early part of stage I, a small cilium is found on the apical surface of each cell throughout
