It was apparently present in the earliest vertebrates, as it has been identified in agnathans, cartilaginous fishes, bony fishes, lungfishes, the crossopterygian Latimeria, and aquatic amphibians.[well established][VHOG] relationship loss: is_formed_by lateral line receptor organ (AAO:0001001)[AAO] ll AAO:0000269 XAO:0000095 UBERON:0002540 ZFA:0000034 Wikipedia:Lateral_line_system A line of sensory organs and associated structures along the sides of fish and amphibia that detect vibrations and pressure changes. lateral-line organs we model this as being potentially inclusive of lateral line scales, and thus overlapping with the skeletal system.

The lateral line system is stimulated by local water displacements and vibrations, and detects propulsion of the fish through the water, as well as facilitating shoaling, prey capture, and predator and obstacle avoidance.
