Fish Swimming

The more than 20,000 extant fish species show a rich variety of adaption in swimming behaviour to meet the requirements of the aquatic environment in which they live, although the subject of fish swimming is one which is still not fully understood. "Fish Swimming" provides an up-to-date account of all aspects of fish locomotion and considers the subject from a variety of different disciplines including hydrodynamics, morphology, kinematics, physiology, performance, energetics, evolution and ecology. This book should be of interest to graduate students and scientists studying aquatic zoology, biomechanics, vertebrate zoology, fish behaviour, ecology and fisheries.
