Adult cranial musculature. A. Lateral view of the cranial cephalic muscles and surrounding skeletal structures of an adult zebrafish (45.1 mm TL). B. Mesial view of the left mandible and adductor mandibulae of an adult zebrafish (45.1 mm TL), part of the anterior intermandibularis is also shown, the adductor mandibulae A0 was removed. C. Ventral view of the cephalic muscles and surrounding skeletal structures of an adult zebrafish (45.1 mm TL), on the right side a portion of the hyohyoidei adductores, as well as of the mandible, was cut, and the opercle, interopercle, subopercle and preopercle are not represented.
