Bro that looks so nasty,but I have to side with @joancrawford cause it does look like a worm. Why do they make us cut open animals just for a good grade.

OLIVER69 · Answer

I am not to good at this, but if I had to say I would say it is the Lateral line, which is one of the fish's primary sense organs, this detects underwater vibrations and is capable of determining the direction of their source.
