barbel
A slender elongate sensory structure protruding from the lips or jaws of certain fishes, such as catfishes, goatfishes, drums, cods, and many deep-sea fishes. Barbels may appear singly or in groups. They are primarily tactile in function but may also bear tastebuds, allowing the fish to taste its environment.
