β¦ Synopsis
The present work deals with the determination of the threshold of nerve fibers per unit of amputation surface necessary for regeneration of the pectoral fins of a teleost, Fundulus. Partial denervation of the amputated pectoral fins, i.e., resection of one or two of the three nerves of the brachial (= pectoral) plexus revealed that the presence of a single one allows the amputated fin to regenerate. From these data and others obtained previously, it is concluded that the nervous requirements for a teleost fin to regenerate are similar or slightly lower than those for tetrapods, for example in the newt, which are capable of appendage regeneration.
