Spanish term or phrase: surco epitélico ventro-lateral
This is from a technical document on fishing (Spain). It describes certain characteristics of various fish:

Descripción
Radios aletas dorsales: 58 - 60; Radios aletas anales: 29 - 33; Radios aletas pectorales: 14-16; Vértebras: 68 - 69.
El *surco epitélico ventro-lateral* se extiende desde la base de la aleta pectoral hasta la aleta.

I am finding various translations for "surco", but am not sure which goes best with fish anatomy.

Ventrolateral....???

Thanks in advance!
