Fish optimize sensing and respiration during undulatory swimming
Head movements of swimming fishes are thought to exist only because of recoil of the oscillating tail. Here, Akanyeti et al. show that by controlling the timing of head movements, fish can improve their swimming efficiency while simultaneously optimizing sensing and respiration.
