To detect information about water flow, fish have sensors running from the snout tip down the sides of the head. Yuzo R. Yanagisuru, Otar Akanyeti, and James C. Liao conducted tests to find where the difference in pressure is greatest between two adjacent sensors because, according to the researchers, as these pressure differences increase, so does the amount of information available to the fish. Using the ratio of head width to length, they found that the greatest pressure difference is closer to the snout for narrower heads (lower ratio of width to length) and farther from the snout for wider heads (higher ratio of width to length). Based on this finding, a second team of researchers has hypothesized that the sensors where information is greatest are likely more sensitive than the rest.
