Interrelationship of Acousticolateral and Visual Systems in the Teleost Midbrain

Abstract

It is known that certain fish that have been blinded are still able to avoid collision with stationary objects such as the aquarium wall (Dijkgraaf 1962). Congenitally blind fish, like the blind cave fish Anopthichthys jordani, can swim around in their environment as surely as fish with vision.
