Talk:Lateral line

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In echolocation a sound is emitted (by some animal or device), reflected (by an external object) and detected again (by the same animal or device that emitted the sound signal). Because the lateral line does not emit any sound signal, the term echolocation is inappropriate. The lateral line can detect the mechanical signal originating from a moving object. If the animal creates a current field around its body by moving around in the water (like the bow wave of a boat), the lateral line can also detect a stationary object because the object will disrupt that current field. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.151.7.188 (talk • contribs) .

I agree. Next time be bold and change it yourself! —Keenan Pepper 13:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
