The Effects of Heart Rate and Pace Feedback on Swimming Performance
Although performance feedback has been shown to influence behavior across sport and exercise settings, limited research has evaluated the effects of different forms of real-time and concurrent feedback on swimming performance. The present study evaluated the effects of heart rate and pace feedback …

Emulating the fast-start swimming performance of the chain pickerel (Esox niger) using a mechanical fish design
… a number of different tail shapes and materials. Performance of the mechanical fish was determined by maximum acceleration, peak and averaged maximum velocity, and hydrodynamic efficiency. Maximum start-up acceleration was calculated at 48 ms-2. Peak and averaged maximum velocity was calculated at …

The Effects of Seasonal Changes and Turbidity on Swimming Performance in White Crappie Pomoxis Annularis and Black Crappie Pomoxis Nigromaculatus.
Factors that affect swimming performance in fish can also affect fitness. I tested the effects of time of day, season and turbidity on swimming performance in black crappie Pomoxis nigromaculatus and white crappie Pomoxis annularis. These closely related fish co-occur and their relative abundance …

Form, function and flow in the plankton : jet propulsion and filtration by pelagic tunicates
Trade-offs between filtration rate and swimming performance among several salp species with distinct morphologies and swimming styles were compared. Small-scale particle encounter at the salp filtering apparatus was also explored. Observations and experiments were conducted at the Liquid Jungle …

Influence of CO2 on fishes in flowing water environments: implications for a non-physical barrier to movement
… is known about how elevated CO2 may affect swimming performance. Here, we investigate the effects that varying levels of dissolved CO2 will have on fish behavior and swimming performance in flowing water. Chapter 1 aims to identify threshold levels of CO2 required to elicit significant …

Sensing and control for fishlike propulsion in unsteady environments
… lies in the ability of fish to save energy when swimming in schools, through extracting energy from vortices generated by other fish. For a single fish modeled as an undulating, foil-shaped body at Reynolds number Re=5000, swimming directly behind another fish results in energy savings of 15-20%, …
