The looping behavior of fish in microgravity.
Fish subjected to microgravity during space flight were monitored for their swimming behavior, particularly the looping response. Experiments were performed on normal fish, unilaterally labyrinthectomized fish, and bilaterally labyrinthectomized fish. Observation were compared against the behavior of other species which had been evaluated in microgravity during parabolic flight.
