"Fish Hearing Studies Physiological work on the octavolateralis system shows that fish can acquire information from a sound source using two systems, the inner ear and the lateral line (Parker, 1909; Popper and Platt, 1993), though sensitivity to sound pressure requires an additional connection between the ear and swim bladder or other air reservoir (Popper and Fay, 1993; Yan et al., 2000). For most fish, the lower frequency range between 10 and 30 Hz is perceptible through the lateral line mechanoreceptors, which can be responsive to frequencies as high as 300 Hz (Munz, 1989; Popper and Fay, 1993; Coombs and Montgomery, 1999)."

What organ help fish float?

Which organ systems are shared by both fish and birds?
a organ systems are shared by both fish and birds because they have the same respiratory system, nervous system and reproductive system.
What does the swim bladder do?
swim bladder, large, thin-walled sac in some fishes that may function in several ways, e.g., as a buoyant float, a sound producer and receptor, and a respiratory organ. The swim bladder, or air bladder, is located in the dorsal portion of the body cavity and is filled with gases. When gas is added to the swim bladder, by diffusion through the blood vessels in the bladder walls, the fish becomes less dense overall; when gas is removed the fish becomes more dense. The addition and removal of gases is a mechanism by which the density of the fish can be made equal to that of the surrounding water at a given depth. The swim bladder produces sound by vibrating; these sounds are probably used in courtship. The organ also amplifies water-borne sounds and thus is an aid to hearing. In most fish the swim bladder has no connection to the digestive tract, but in some, such as the lungfish, there is a connecting tube leading to the pharynx, indicating that the organ may aid in respiration.

The receptor organ for hearing is the?
Organ of Corti is the hearing organ and it rests on basilar membrane; consists of supporting cells and hair cells. Axons of the neurons that begin around the organ of Corti, extend in the cochlear nerve to the brain to produce the sensation of hearing.
