Fish Lateral Line

Ablation tests mechanosensory escape from suction predators. From the plotted trajectories, the MNA group avoids the suction source more effectively than the CNA group, supporting B. Because ablation differs in both the region and number/distribution of neuromasts, the experiment supports a role for both location and number rather than location alone, so C is also correct.
