Knollenorgangen
Knollenorgane are specialized electroreceptor organs found in some freshwater electric fishes. They are one of the two main types of electroreceptors in these fishes, the other being ampullary organs. Knollenorgane occur most prominently in the African family Mormyridae (elephantfishes) and in several related lineages, with additional representatives in other electric fishes.
Anatomy and distribution: Each knollenorgan is a compact, bulbous structure embedded in the skin or just beneath
Physiology and function: Knollenorgans transduce local electric field changes into neural signals. They are particularly sensitive
Ecology and significance: The knollenorgan system supports navigation in murky waters, obstacle avoidance, and the detection
