To control elevation underwater, aquatic vertebrates integrate multisensory information (e.g., vestibular, visual, proprioceptive) to guide posture and swim kinematics. Here we characterized how larval zebrafish changed locomotive strategies after imposed instability (decreased buoyancy) in the presence absence of visual cues. We discovered that larvae sank more acute loss lateral line (flow-sensing) hair cells. In response, engaged different compensatory strategies, depending on whether they were light or dark. dark, swam frequently, engaging their trunk steer nose up climb effectively. However, light, climbed often, both pectoral fins elevate. conclude sense use vestibular as available trajectory. Our work is a step towards understanding neural computations responsible for allow orientation navigation depth.
