Abstract
The present work has been focussed on the comparative aspects of the torus longitudinalis in Therapon jarbua, a visual feeder with that of Glossogobius giuris, a bottom feeder. Torus longitudinalis is a mesencephalic structure which hangs into the midbrain ventricle and it can influence the brain structure especially midbrain to a great extent.
