title: Morphology of the brain of Sarotherodon mossambicus (Peters) and correlation with its habits.
abstract: The correlation between the brain of an exotic fish, Sarotherodon mossambicus, and its habits was studied. The poorly developed olfactory lobes are indicative of poor olfactory sense, while the large optic lobes and stout, thick optic nerves correlate with this fish's excellent sense of vision. Similarly, its tactile and gustatory sense are determined by the extent of development of the facial and vagal lobes.
