Abstract
CERTAIN fish make compensatory swimming movements when they are stimulated by passive displacement of the body or by corresponding displacement of the environment. Experimental analysis shows that this response can be elicited by image displacement on the retina1, by inertial stimuli2, by tactile stimuli and by the passage of water over the surface of the fish3.
