Anatomical identification of the presumed electroreceptors of two air breathing catfishes, Clarias batrachus and Heteropneustes fossilis.
Histological preparations for light microscopy have revealed for the first time the structure of the electrorecoptor of Clarias batrachus and Heteropneustes fossilis, the 2 Indian air-breathing catfishes. These sensory organs are found to resemble the ampullary organs of many weakly electric and nonelectric electroreceptive teleost.
