What is Differences in morphological features of the sacculus of the inner ear of two hakes (Merluccius capensis and M. paradoxus, gadiformes) inhabits from different depth of sea about?

## Abstract The morphology of the sensory epithelia of the sacculus in two species of hake, __Merluccius capensis__ and __M. paradoxus__, was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The sensory epithelia have two morphological features that are very different from other gadiform species. These include the presence of two large areas which are only linked by a narrow neck, and the larger proportion of hair cells oriented in the rostrocaudal axis than in other species. The deeper‐dwelling species, __M. paradoxus__, has a larger proportion of hair cell with short ciliary bundles than does the shallower‐dwelling species, __M. capensis__. These morphological specializations could improve the acoustic diserimination and localization capabilities of these species, possibly related to an increase in sensitivity to higher frequency sounds in the deeper‐dwelling species. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
