The line senses mechanical changes in the surrounding water, such as changing water pressures. In some species, electrical impulses can also be detected.</p> <p>The lateral line plays an important role in schooling behaviour, predation and orientation. For example, a predatory fish may use it to sense water vortices created by fleeing prey. Conversely, the changing water pressures from approaching predator can warn a prey fish.</p> <p>In an experiment, individuals of a group of <em>Pollachius virens</em> (pictured) were removed and subjected to different procedures, and their ability to rejoin the school observed. Those that were blinded were able to rejoin to reintegrate into the school, whereas those which had their lateral lines severed were unable to do so.</p> <p><small><a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LateralLine_Organ.jpg">Thomas Haslwanter</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pollachius_virens_01.jpg">Tino Strauss</a> on Wikimedia Commons</small></p> </blockquote> <p>Neat!</p>http://fondafishing.tumblr.com/post/51309664108http://fondafishing.tumblr.com/post/51309664108Sat, 25 May 2013 09:13:24 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f76572e1c6b7efec9e3c3d36869719d7/tumblr_mn9ukubNg51qdtnt6o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ad808ccacb6430af54ac472f6296d486/tumblr_mn9ukubNg51qdtnt6o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Wild orchids in Lytton, BC</p>http://fondafishing.tumblr.com/post/51176651724http://fondafishing.tumblr.com/post/51176651724Thu, 23 May 2013 15:02:53 -0700wildflowernatureorchidrareladyslippersceneryforest<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b6472329ad8c25a2c7c7f40d87fd4e75/tumblr_mn5o1fmMJp1qdtnt6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Had to share this one…</p>http://fondafishing.tumblr.com/post/50994227351http://fondafishing.tumblr.com/post/50994227351Tue, 21 May 2013 08:51:15 -0700hockeyTorontomayor fordcracknew diet<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6fbfb4bd81e43d1b4384e8cce48ce44c/tumblr_mn4odzPgWq1qdtnt6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I see your red dress and raise you a red onsie!

It took me a few moments to comprehend what I had stumbled upon. Lying peacefully in the shallow waters of the river, only a few meters from shore, was a full-grown cougar. The contrast between the serenity of the scene I was witnessing and what must have played out here in the cougar’s final moments made me shiver. It was the first shiver of many, as I stripped down and waded out into the icy water to get this shot. <a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/your-shot/weekly-wrapper/">x</a></em></p> </blockquote>http://fondafishing.tumblr.com/post/50387559098http://fondafishing.tumblr.com/post/50387559098Mon, 13 May 2013 18:42:40 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7b9527b922e0e4e347a740e44e05bd41/tumblr_mlhi01PPb51rhb9f5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>Simplified mushroom life cycle, diagrammed</em></p>http://fondafishing.tumblr.com/post/50319993900http://fondafishing.tumblr.com/post/50319993900Sun, 12 May 2013 21:13:49 -0700fungimushroomdiagram<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2780481e1599cfabcc33d9b160c98b94/tumblr_mmnwstscv41qdtnt6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My first salt fish on the fly!
