A Denser Swim Bladder Exacerbates Nose-Down Destabilization, Altering Bout Kinematics and Timing

(A) Lateral photomicrographs of representative 5 dpf larvae with swim bladders filled with air (top) or paraffin oil (bottom, red arrow). Gamma was adjusted identically in both images for clarity.

(B and C) Pitch angle (θ) and translation speed during a representative series of swim bouts for 5 dpf larvae, one with a swim bladder filled with air (B) and one with paraffin oil (C).

(D) The percentage of bouts with fastest rotation in the nose-up direction is plotted as a function of angular velocity $(\dot{θ})$ during pauses for individual clutches with air- and oil-filled swim bladders.

(E) Log probability distributions of inter-event intervals (IEIs) for swim bouts generated by 5 dpf larvae with air- and oil-filled swim bladders (n = 7).
