The lateral line is an organ used by all fish to detect, with exquisite sensitivity, movement and vibration in the surrounding water. As per the research team, this is similar to how humans can sense air flow with the small hairs on the face. Until now, it had not been demonstrated that the lateral line also aids in the tracking of odor plumes........
