摘要

The inner ears of all vertebrates are designed to perceive auditory and vestibular inputs. Although a tremendous diversity in the inner ear can be found even among bony fishes, the morphologies of the utricle and of the semicircular canals are rather conservative among vertebrates. Fish show kinetoses under reduced gravity (spinning movements and looping responses) and are regarded model organisms concerning the performance of the otolithic organs. Otoliths can be analysed easily because they are compact, in contrast to the otoconial masses of other vertebrates. Here, late-larval Oreochromis mossambicus were subjected to 0.0001 × g and 0.04 × g aboard a sounding rocket, their behavior was observed and morphometrical analyses on otoliths were carried out. Fish swimming kinetotically at 0.0001 × g had a higher asymmetry of utricular otoliths (gravity perception) but not of saccular otoliths (hearing process) than specimens behaving normally at this gravity level (p = 0.0055). Also, asymmetries of lapilli in animals swimming normally at 0.0001 × g were lower than asymmetries in specimens swimming normally at 0.04 × g (p = 0.06). This supports the “otolith asymmetry hypothesis”, an explanation for the susceptibility to kinetosis, particularly concerning the utricular otoliths. It would be interesting to identify processes generating asymmetric otoliths, also in regard to\udhuman motion sickness.
