Fig. 7. (A) Side and (B) ventral view of a model of the midsection of the lateral
flagellum of a P. argus antennule, which has been painted black so
that the zig-zag arrangement of the aesthetascs can be easily seen. Lines
labeled 1–3 indicate three locations where velocity transects were taken
at right angles to the surface of the antennule flagellum, with corresponding
velocity measurements shown in graph in C. In total, 20 transects were made at
different locations through the aesthetasc array. All distances and velocities
have been converted to those for a real antennule. A distance of 0 mm
corresponds to the base of the aesthetascs next to the lateral flagellum of
the antennule; 0.8 mm corresponds to the tips of the aesthetascs. High flow
occurs both near the tips of the aesthetascs and at specific locations within
the array where gaps in the zig-zag hair arrangement occur.
