A schematic lateral silhouette of a teleost fish depicts Colossoma macropomum (tambaqui). Intramuscular Y-bones (epipleural bones) appear as repeated forked elements embedded in the dorsal trunk musculature, while a pale longitudinal band marks the lateral line (LL) along the flank. In ichthyology and comparative anatomy, these features belong to the axial skeleton and the mechanosensory system, respectively. Functionally, the Y-bones reinforce myosepta to support swimming, and the LL detects water movements, aiding orientation, prey detection, and schooling in this neotropical characiform species.
