The role of flexibility on propulsive performance of flapping fins
… efficient underwater robotics. The tail/caudal fin is a major source of thrust generation and is believed that the fish modulates its fin stiffness to optimize the propulsive performance. Inspired by the stiffness modulation of fish fins, the objective of this research is to predict and …

Population Status and Characteristics of Macrhybopsis Gelida, Platygobio gracilis and Rhinichthys cataractae in the Missouri River Basin
… pelvic, pectoral and dorsal fin lengths; caudal peduncle depth; eye diameter; head length and width; snout length; and body depth. Platygobio gracilis and R. cataractae from the Little Missouri River in North and South Dakota had longer anal and dorsal fin bases; longer pelvic, pectoral …

The comparative osteology and taxonomy of the North American cyprinid genera, Richard-sonius, Clinostomus and Semotilus, with notes on other minnows
… shape of the basipterygium and features of the caudal peduncle and tail skeleton. The skeletons, which were examined, do not seem to have many major differences. Bones are rarely rarely absent and there are few fusions. Sensory canals may be unfused to the adjacent bones. The biggest differences …

Identification of genetic markers associated with growth and morphology quality in senegalese sole (solea senegalensis) to boost aquaculture production
… fin base (BHP), body maximum height (BMH) and caudal peduncle height (CPH) and two ratios (BMH/BHP and BMH/CPH) were evaluated. Results showed high heritabilities (0.463-0.774) for E, BHP, BMH and CPH which were higher at 400 d than 800 d. In contrast, the BMH/BHP and BMH/CPH ratios showed …
