The smallest functional unit of the fish lateral line is the neuromast, a sensory structure that can stand out on the skin (superficial neuromast) or in the fluid-filled canals (canal neuromast) that usually open to the environment through a series of pores (Puzdrowski, 1989; Schmitz, et al., 2008; Bleckmann, et al., 2010).
