3D reconstruction of the head, swim bladder, and Weberian apparatus anatomy of a serrasalmid fish (Mylossoma duriventre).  (A) Neurocranium, vertebrae (1-4), Weberian ossicles, otoliths and swim bladder of Mylossoma duriventre. (B) latera views of the otoliths, Weberian ossicles, vertebrae, os suspensorium, and neurals, and supraneurals. Anterior is to the left in all images. Lateral views of the three otolith and Weberian ossicle pairs are shown below figure panels.
