Abstract
The effect of neomycin and streptomycin on the lateral line system of fishes was studied behaviourally by testing the animal's ability to localize a wave source. Increasing doses of both substances produce increasing loss of lateral line reactions, up to total inexcitability. The toxicity of both antibiotics was very similar. Lateral line sensitivity recovered 1-3 days after antibiotic removal.Entities:
