The salience of multisensory information plays a key role in the behavioral performance of animals. Specifically, Danio rerio (zebrafish) utilizes sensory feedback from multiple modalities to regulate their target tracking behavior during rheotaxis. We have previously shown that zebrafish tracks the trajectories of a D-shaped tube that obscure the flow during their innate rheotaxis. We investigate the impact of the quality of multisensory information on the target tracking performance of zebrafish within a custom-built swim tunnel. To achieve this, we use a transparent D-shaped tube to obscure
