Fast Continuous Swimming of Two Pelagic Predators, Saithe (Pollachius Virens) and Mackerel (Scomber Scombrus): a Kinematic Analysis
Abstract
Straight, forward, unrestrained swimming behaviour, with periodic lateral oscillations of body and tailfin, was described and compared for saithe and mackerel. A method was developed for kinematic analysis of forward motion, lateral displacements and body curvature, based on a Fourier-series approach. The dimensionless kinematic quantities showed relatively small variations over large ranges of swimming speeds. The speed range of mackerel was twice as fast as that of saithe. The main difference in swimming style between the species was a somewhat greater tail amplitude and a correspondingly stronger curvature near the caudal peduncle in mackerel than in saithe. The swimming style of both species yields a Froude efficiency close to the maximum value possible, given the observed amplitude increase in the posterior part.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
