Abstract

The structural details of some muscles, connective tissue elements, and bone structures of the visceral apparatus in the ember parrotfish Scarus rubroviolaceus were studied. In the lower jaw, a lock mechanism has been found that limits the degree of adduction of the anguloarticulare relative to the suspensorium. The impact of numerous subdivisions of m. adductor mandibulae on the elements of the front jaws in the process of the fish’s mouth closing is discussed.
