The presence of magnetic material in tissues of lateral line and ocellar spot of tomtates Haemulon aurolineatum is shown using the ferromagnetic resonance technique. For the first time magnetic material is reported in the ocellar spot. The magnetic material detected in these structures of H. aurolineatum suggests that this species could use magnetic orientation during its nocturnal foraging, and the relevance and role of this material with respect to schooling movements is discussed.
使用铁磁共振技术显示了番茄鱼侧线和眼斑组织中磁性物质的存在。首次报道了眼斑中存在磁性物质。在 H. aurolineatum 的这些结构中检测到的磁性物质表明,该物种在夜间觅食时可能会利用磁场定位,并且讨论了这种物质与群体运动的相关性和作用。
