Successful foraging is crucial to the energetic demands of fishes, but the role of lateral-line system during feeding remains unclear. In this dissertation I investigated how the lateral line mediates foraging throughout ontogeny of zebrafish. The results demonstrate the fish need the lateral-line system to successfully feed in the dark, and the types of lateral-line receptors play an important role during foraging. My first chapter developed a series of lateral-line manipulations to test how flow receptors influences foraging success. I also examined the morphology of the receptors to determine if morphological changes in the receptors during early growth may improve flow sensitivity. The results suggest that the lateral line is not import...
