Discovery of fundamental principles which govern and limit effective locomotion (self-
propulsion) is of intellectual interest and practical importance. Human technology has …

A great challenge in neuroscience is understanding how activity in the brain gives rise to
behavior. The zebrafish is an ideal vertebrate model to address this challenge, thanks to the …

The study of how fluid interacts with aquaculture cages and how it influences fish swimming
behaviour has proven to be of great importance for designing offshore aquaculture cage …

Tuna, dolphin and whale as typical thunniform mode fish have obvious differences in body
size and caudal fin shape. As the main propeller, the difference in the shape of caudal fin …

Most larvae of bony fish are able to swim almost immediately after hatching. Their
locomotory system supports several vital functions: fish larvae make fast manoeuvres to …

Fish locomotion which adopts body and/or caudal fin swimming mode consists of different
motions, such as Cruising-straight, Cruising-turn, and various fast turns, among others …

Energetic expenditure is an important factor in animal locomotion. Here we test the
hypothesis that fishes control tail-beat kinematics to optimize energetic expenditure during …

The physical basis for fish schooling is examined using three-dimensional numerical
simulations of a pair of swimming fish, with kinematics and geometry obtained from …

How do sensory systems disambiguate events in the external world from signals generated
by the animal's own motor actions? One strategy is to use an" efference copy" of the motor …

An abundance of swimming animals have converged upon a common swimming strategy
using multiple propulsors coordinated as metachronal waves. The shared kinematics …
