P.}, journal = {Medaka}, month = {Dec}, note = {The large pit organs in the adult fish of four species of Oryzias (O. celebensis, O. javanicus, O. latipes, O. melastigma) were examined morphologically using an ordinary light and a scanning electron microscopes. Both "sunken" (canal) and "naked" types of large pit organs were recognized in O. javanicus and O. melastigma and only the naked type in O. celebensis and O. latipes. In O. melastigma, it was found that shortly after hatching several small pit organs differentiate to the sunken type after transformation to the naked type of large pit organs.}, pages = {7--14}, title = {MORPHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS OF THE LARGE PIT ORGAN IN FOUR SPECIES OF FRESHWATER TELEOST, ORYZIAS}, volume = {2}, year = {1984} }
