Rowing jellyfish contract to maintain neutral buoyancy
ABSTRACT: Jellyfish are easily carried by ocean currents, yet most studies on jellyfish focus on the kinematics in a quiescent fluid. In this experimental and theoretical study, we film six species of rowing jellyfish in a range of background flow speeds at the Georgia Aquarium. Each species has a u...
