An Un-Momentous Start to Life: Can Hydrodynamics Explain Why Fish Larvae Change Swimming Style?
In this study, we explore mechanical constraints on the swimming performance of zebrafish larvae (Danio rerio) that might explain why larvae switch from sustained swimming to the more efficient burst & coast as they grow. Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain why young fish larvae per...
