Abstract:
We compared morphometry and total swimming costs of wild, farmed (first-generation hatchery progeny of wild progenitors) and domesticated (seventh-generation progeny of the Norwegian aquaculture strain) juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Respirometry experiments were performed to assess total swimming costs of fish ranging in size from 4.0 to 16.1 g wet mass at a water temperature of 15 °C. Fish were subjected to flow conditions of low and high turbulence. Total swimming costs increased significantly with intensity of turbulence and were, on average, 1.4 times higher at high than at low turbulence. Total swimming costs were 2.4- to 4.0-fold higher than predicted by forced swimming models developed under conditions that minimize flow heterogeneity. Total swimming costs of wild and farmed fish were not statistically different (average difference = 6.7%). Hence, swimming costs models developed using farmed fish may be used to estimate swimming costs of wild fish. However, domesticated fish had total swimming costs 12.0% to 29.2% higher than farmed or wild fish. This may be related to domesticated fish having deeper bodies and smaller fins.

Abstract:
Individual computations and social interactions underlying collective behavior in groups of animals are of great ethological, behavioral, and theoretical interest. While complex individual behaviors have successfully been parsed into small dictionaries of stereotyped behavioral modes, studies of collective behavior largely ignored these findings; instead, their focus was on inferring single, mode-independent social interaction rules that reproduced macroscopic and often qualitative features of group behavior. Here, we bring these two approaches together to predict individual swimming patterns of adult zebrafish in a group. We show that fish alternate between an “active” mode, in which they are sensitive to the swimming patterns of conspecifics, and a “passive” mode, where they ignore them. Using a model that accounts for these two modes explicitly, we predict behaviors of individual fish with high accuracy, outperforming previous approaches that assumed a single continuous computation by individuals and simple metric or topological weighing of neighbors’ behavior. At the group level, switching between active and passive modes is uncorrelated among fish, but correlated directional swimming behavior still emerges. Our quantitative approach for studying complex, multimodal individual behavior jointly with emergent group behavior is readily extensible to additional behavioral modes and their neural correlates as well as to other species.

Abstract:
In situ swimming speed and swimming behaviour of dielly migrating planktivorous fish were studied at a 120-m-deep location. Acoustic target tracking was performed using a hull-mounted transducer and submersible transducers located on the sea bottom and free hanging in the water column. The original data displayed a relationship between distance to transducer and swimming speed. A simplistic smoother applied during post-processing, appeared to break this relationship. Target tracking thus provided robust results on in situ swimming behaviour throughout the water column. Swimming speeds of deep-living fish, mainly Norway pout (Trisopterus esmarkii) and whiting (Merlangius merlangus), were highest during the day (speeds centred around 14–16 cm·s–1) and decreased somewhat by night (modes around 10–11 cm·s–1). Fish in the upper 10–30 m swam somewhat faster (speeds ranging from 16 to 24 cm·s–1). Fish in the upper layer at night were mainly Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus), sprat (Sprattus sprattus), and whiting. We ascribe the reduction of swimming speed in deep-living fish at night to a switch from visual feeding during daytime to nonvisual feeding by night. We suggest that shallow-living fish could forage visually even by night. Most tracks were fairly short, but some long tracks unveiled elaborate swimming paths as well as cyclic swimming behaviour.

Abstract:
We performed respirometry experiments to estimate the spontaneous swimming costs of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) for 24 combinations of fish weight (3.5, 17, and 32 g), water temperature (4, 12, and 18°C), and respirometer size (27, 54, and 108 L). Fish swimming characteristics were estimated for each experiment using videocamera recordings and image analysis. Under our experimental conditions, average swimming characteristics of fish, such as swimming speed and turning and acceleration rates, varied from 2.5- to 29-fold. Our data, alone or combined with similar published results on brook trout weighing 1 g, indicated that fish weight was the only variable that could explain a statistically significant proportion of the variations of spontaneous swimming costs for that species (r2 = 0.91). Our work confirms, with a wider range of experimental data, that spontaneous swimming costs of fish are 3- to 22-fold (8-fold average difference) more energy demanding than predicted by forced swimming models developed using fish swimming at constant speeds and directions in flumes.

Abstract:
Swimming performance, measured as critical swimming velocity (Ucrit) and endurance, and swimming behavior and kinematics were measured in delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus, a threatened estuarine planktivore. Most fish (58 % of the Ucrit test group) were capable of achieving and sustaining moderately high velocities: mean Ucrit was 27.6±5.1 cm s-1 (s.d.). Ucrit was not affected by either acclimation temperature (12­21 °C) or fish size (3.2­6.8 cm standard length) and was generally comparable with values measured for other similarly sized fishes. The remaining 42 % of the fish failed to swim at velocities above 10­15 cm s-1. Interestingly, of the fish that provided a Ucrit measurement, 62 % experienced at least one temporary swimming failure between 10 and 20 cm s-1. Endurance was highly variable and, for all velocities, not normally distributed; the only significant decrease, from 6 h to 64 min, occurred between 10 and 15 cm s-1. Kinematic analyses of stroke frequency, stroke amplitude, stride length, glide frequency, glide duration, proportion of time spent stroking and the number of strokes between successive glides showed that delta smelt employed three velocity-dependent swimming gaits: a discontinuous 'stroke-and-glide' swimming behavior below 10 cm s-1; a continuous swimming behavior above 15 cm s-1 and up to Ucrit; and a discontinuous 'burst-and-glide' swimming behavior at velocities above Ucrit. Swimming failure at velocities between 10 and 20 cm s-1 coincided with the transition from 'stroke-and-glide' swimming to continuous swimming; delta smelt were unable or unwilling to swim steadily in the flume within this transition velocity range. These results underscore the importance of monitoring and quantifying behavior in experiments intended as physiological performance tests of whole animals.

Abstract:
Seabass swimming behavior was investigated in a salt-marsh area located along the Atlantic coast north of La Rochelle, France. Seabass is a natural inhabitant of this coastal zone and is farmed there as well. During its 3rd year, seabass can move about either singly or in small groups. Swimming activity of single fish and fish in a group was studied using an acoustic telemetry recording system. This study demonstrates that swimming activity levels and patterns of this species are modified by a group effect. Single fish were mainly nocturnal and fish in a group adopted a diurnal activity rhythm and lower maximum swimming activity levels.

Abstract:
Swimming performance and behaviour in fish has been shown to vary depending on the investigation method. In this study, an endurance swimming curve was generated for young-of-the-year shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum LeSueur, 1818) (~7 cm total length, ~2 g) and compared with values determined in a separate incremental swimming (critical swimming, Ucrit) test. Using video, tail-beat frequency (TBF) was quantified and compared for fish swimming under both swimming tests. From the endurance-curve analysis, it was found that sturgeon did not display a statistically significant burst swimming phase. Maximum sustainable swimming speed (calculated to be 18.00 cm·s–1) from the endurance curve occurred at ~80% of Ucrit (22.30 cm·s–1). TBF was similar at all speeds for both swimming tests, except at speeds approaching Ucrit, where fish displayed TBFs of 4.29 Hz for the endurance protocol and 2.26 Hz for the Ucrit protocol. TBF was more variable between individuals swimming at the same speed within the Ucrit compared with the endurance protocol. Finally, a significant negative correlation was found between TBF and Ucrit in individual fish, suggesting that station-holding may be an important energy saving strategy during swimming in this size class of sturgeon.

Abstract:
Purpose For precisely presenting the swimming behavior of fish robots underwater and the practical implementation purpose, this paper aims to investigate a well-formulated fish robot model which integrates the nonlinear rigid body dynamics, kinematics and models of actuators. Design/methodology/approach This fish robot model is mainly built up by three basic parts: a balance mechanism, a four-links vibrator and a caudal fin. In the fish robot’s head, there is a balance mechanism used to control the rotations in pitch and roll directions of the fish robot by moving two movable masses. The four-links vibrator with three active joints actuated by DC motors is designed to vibrate the fish’s body. In the end of the fish robot body, a caudal fin which connects with the passive joint is developed to generate hydrodynamic thrust forces to propel the fish robot. Findings From the real stability tests and control verification, it is obvious that this proposed model can precisely present the swimming behavior of fish robots and possesses the potential to develop a fish-like robotic prototype. Originality/value A well-formulated model with dynamics of actuators is integrated for presenting the swimming behavior of carangiform locomotion type fish robots in this investigation. From the simulation results and the practical test of a real fish robot, the feasibility of this proposed model for building up real fish robots can be proven, and this proposed model is accurate enough to effectively present the swimming behavior of fish robots.

Abstract:
The spawning ground of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) is usually located farther downriver than that of masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) in Hokkaido, Japan. To compare the swimming abilities of these two species, the relationship between swimming speed and oxygen consumption was compared using a swim tunnel in the laboratory. Then, the upstream-migration behaviors of chum salmon and masu salmon were compared using electromyogram telemetry at fish passages in the Toyohira River, Hokkaido. In the laboratory study, the standard metabolic rate of masu salmon was lower and the critical swimming speed (Ucrit) was faster than those of chum salmon. In the field study, the holding time needed to recover the swimming performance exceeding Ucrit at the fish passages and the trial number needed to pass the fish passages were significantly lower for masu salmon than chum salmon. These results revealed that masu salmon are more adaptable to extended swimming in high water velocity conditions than chum salmon and that masu salmon are better equipped for a long distance upstream migration to their spawning ground than chum salmon.

Abstract:
The supply of coral reef fish larvae from the open ocean to reefs is vital for the persistence of local fish populations. Whether larvae are dispersed over hundreds of km or only few km depends on biophysical interactions between larvae and their environment. Relationships between environmental variables, larval swimming behavior, and larval transport were examined for reef fish larvae in the Florida Straits. In a series of research cruises, the upper 100 m of the water column was sampled with plankton nets fishing at four different depths. Variability in the vertical distributions of most larvae was not consistently related to measured environmental variables. Relative densities of larvae were predictably related to sampling depth in five taxa. In seven taxa, more developed larvae were distributed significantly deeper than less developed larvae, revealing ontogenic vertical migrations. In three taxa, vertical distributions varied significantly between day and night, revealing diel migrations. Since the Florida Current was strongest near the surface, observed vertical distributions and migrations resulted in reduced larval transport relative to surface currents. To identify cues involved in regulating vertical distributions, behavioral experiments were conducted with larvae from four reef fish families. All four groups showed significant responses to pressure cues, swimming up in response to high pressure and down in response to low pressure. In two families there was a significant correlation between capture depth and experimental pressure preference, suggesting that larvae use similar behavior to regulate depth in situ. To study horizontal swimming behavior, late-stage larvae of one species were caught in light-traps and observed by SCUBA divers ~1 km offshore of the Florida Keys barrier reef. All larvae swam remarkably straight, but their swimming directions were distributed randomly. A simulation model was used to generate swimming trajectories of longer duration than could be observed directly. Observed and simulated trajectories indicated that horizontal swimming by larvae with or without an external reference frame was important at spatial scales of several km. Overall, some larvae exercised a strong influence on transport, either by vertical or horizontal swimming. Behaviors varied between species and families, highlighting the need for more species-specific data.

Abstract:
O comportamento natatório de larvas de peixes na fase da primeira alimentação de Rachycentron canadum e Epinephelus marginatus foi descrito usando imagens de câmeras de alta frequência (60 a 2000 quadros por segundo) pelas técnicas de imageamento: microscopia de campo claro, sistema de filtros pareados e holografia. Oito métricas comportamentais foram registradas na presença de náuplios de copépodes; rotíferos Brachionus sp. e; sem alimento: natação rotineira (1 a 2,9 vezes o comprimento do corpo por segundo, CP s-¹); natação explosiva (3 a 40 CP s-¹); recuo; distâncias percorridas; batimentos do complexo caudal na natação e manutenção da posição (40 b s-¹); contrações rápidas do corpo em formato de C (de 0,16 a 0,40 s) e S (0,009 a 0,17 s); repouso; e comportamento alimentar (visualização das presas e tentativa de captura). As larvas alteraram a velocidade de natação na presença de presas e aumentaram em função da idade. Os maiores valores alcançados do número de Reynolds foram na presença de presas, para natação rotineira foi 200. As contrações da musculatura e mudanças na velocidade de natação indicam relação com aspectos ecológicos dos organismos, como busca por alimento e interações intra e interespecíficas.
The swimming behavior of first feeding fish larvae Rachycentron canadum and Epinephelus marginatus was described using images acquired with high-speed cameras (60 to 2000 frames per second) by the imaging techniques: bright field microscopy, matched filters system and holography. Eight behavioral metrics were recorded in the presence of copepod nauplii; rotifer Brachionus sp.; and unfed: routine swimming (1 to 2.9 body lengths per second, BL s-¹); burst swimming (3 to 40 BL s-¹); backward swimming; distance traveled; caudal beat frequency of swimming and maintaining of the position (about 40 b s-¹); fast C-turns (0.16 to 0.40 s) and S-turns (0.009 to 0.17 s); rest; and feeding behavior (observation of prey and attempts to capture). The larvae altered their swimming velocity in the presence of prey and incresead according to age. The highest values of the Reynolds number were reached in the presence of prey, to routine swimming was < 20, and to bust swimming > 200. Muscles contractions and changes in the swimming showed a relation to ecological aspects of organisms, like food searching and intra and interspecific interactions.

Abstract:
Diese Dissertation ist ein Beitrag zum Forschungsfeld der Stressökologie, im Spe-ziellen der Verhaltensökotoxikologie. Das spontane lokomotorische Verhalten der Fischarten Danio rerio und Leucaspius delineatus wurde unter sublethaler Expo-sition mit dem Cyanobakterientoxin Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) und dem Xenobio-tikums 2.4.4`-Trichlorobiphenyl (PCB 28) quantifiziert. Die Schwimmgeschwin-digkeit und Anzahl der Wendungen wurden kontinuierlich mit einem automati-schen Video-Monitoringsystem unter Laborbedingungen aufgezeichnet. In Hin-blick auf zyklische Aspekte wurden die Verhaltensanalysen mit chronobiologi-schen Methoden kombiniert. Hiermit wurde gezeigt, dass MC-LR und PCB 28 zu signifikanten Effekten in Verhalten und Aktivitätsrhythmik beider Fischarten führten. Höhere Konzentrati-onen beider Untersuchungssubstanzen verursachten eine deutliche Aktivitätsredu-zierung bei Danio rerio und Leucaspius delineatus. Einige der festgestellten Do-sis-Wirkungsbeziehungen entsprechen der Hormesistheorie, z. B. war bei geringe-ren MC-LR Konzentrationen ein Aktivitätsanstieg und bei höheren ein Aktivitäts-abfall beider Fischarten zu verzeichnen. Die Exposition mit MC-LR und PCB 28 verringerte bei beiden Testfischarten die Synchronisation der Aktivität mit dem Zeitgeber Licht. Dies führte bei beiden Fischarten zu einer Phasenverschiebung. Bei Leucaspius delineatus war unter dem Einfluss von MC-LR eine Phasenumkehr zu verzeichnen, die Fische wechselten von Tag- zu Nachtaktivität. Die Cosinor Analyse zeigte Dosis abhängige Veränderungen der circadianen Rhythmen der Schwimmaktivität (z.B. MESOR, Akrophase) unter Einfluss von MC-LR und PCB 28 an. Die Power Spektral Analyse indizierte für beide Fischar-ten unter Einwirkung von MC-LR and PCB 28 eine reduzierte Dominanz des cir-cadianen Rhythmuspeaks. Da die registrierten Unterschiede in der Reaktion beider Fischarten auf MC-LR und PCB 28 eher gering waren, sind Ergebnisse der Art Danio rerio, die häufig in Toxizitätstests verwendet wird, mit denen der einheimischen Art Leucaspius deli-neatus vergleichbar. Die Ergebnisse belegen, dass Verhaltensuntersuchungen in Kombination mit chronobiologischen Auswertemethoden eine sensitive und zuverlässige Abschät-zung des Gefährdungspotentials von Substanzen sowohl auf dem Gebiet der Öko-toxikologie als auch für Biomonitoring ermöglichen.
This thesis contributes to the field of stress ecology specifically behavioural ecotoxicology. The spontaneous locomotor behavior of two fish species Danio re-rio and Leucaspius delineatus was recorded and quantified continuously under sublethal exposure to the cyanotoxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR) and the xenobioti-cum 2.4.4`-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB 28). By using an automated video-monitoring system, the swimming velocity and the number of turns were assessed under labo-ratory conditions. For analysing cyclic aspects basic behavioural analyses were combined with chronobiological procedures as cosinor analysis and power spec-tral analysis. Both MC-LR and PCB 28 acted as stressors and caused significant changes in the behaviour and circadian activity rhythms of Danio rerio as well as Leucaspius de-lineatus. So for both species elevated concentrations of the stressors led to a re-duction of their activity. Some dose-responses correspond to the hormesis theory, e.g., there was an increase of daytime activity at lower MC-LR concentrations and a decrease at elevated concentrations of MC-LR for both species. A degree of desynchronisation of activity to the zeitgeber light, which led to a phase shift was caused by the chemicals in both fish species. In Leucaspius de-lineatus this shift was so drastic that this species reversed their significant diurnal activity and became nocturnal under the influence of MC-LR. The Cosinor analysis revealed MC-LR- and PCB 28-induced, dose-dependent al-terations of the circadian rhythms of activity (e.g., MESOR, acrophase). The power spectral analysis showed that the dominance of the circadian rhythmic peak (of 24 h) was reduced under MC-LR and PCB 28 for both species. Since the observed differences in the reactions of both species to MC-LR and PCB 28 were rather small, the results of the species Danio rerio which is widely used for environmental risk assessment tests, are comparable to those of the native European species Leucaspius delineatus. The findings of this study proved that the basic behavioural analyses combined with chronobiological procedures could be valuable tools for the study of stressful or even harmful environmental factors in the field of ecotoxicology as well as for biomonitoring.

Abstract:
<i>Abstract</i>.—Based on previous investigations of flatfish swimming performance, three hypotheses regarding frequency distribution of body angles (pitch and roll) during periods of pelagic excursions and periods when the fish swim along the bottom were formulated and evaluated. A tagging experiment on Greenland halibut <i>Reinhardtius hippoglossoides </i>was made with archival tags (DST) recording body angles each 15 min together with ambient depth. A total of 19 tags were recovered, representing 80,000 h of recording. The paper shows that for periods when pelagic or demersal swimming behavior can be deduced from the depth trajectories alone, the angular spectra were consistent with the hypothesized patterns for pelagic and demersal phases, respectively. Based on this distinction, the percentage of pelagic occupancy was estimated for each month of the year. With almost no occurrences of vertical swimming positions, the common perception that Greenland halibut adopts such position during pelagic phases was rejected.

<em>Abstract</em>.—Fish ladder designs that pass adult sturgeons are poorly studied. This is partly due to difficulties associated with obtaining and testing large adults. To learn about behavior and swimming of sturgeons in fish ladder environments, we observed juvenile lake sturgeon <em>Acipenser fulvescens </em>to determine the type of ladder opening that fish passed best. We also constructed a short fish ladder (6% slope) using the best opening type and determined the general usefulness of the ladder design to pass juvenile lake sturgeon, pallid sturgeon <em>Scaphirhynchus albus </em>and shovelnose sturgeon <EM>S</EM>. <em>platorynchus</em>. Lake sturgeon swam upstream through orifice and vertical openings better than through surface weir or weir and orifice openings. Because 37% of the fish hit the orifice when swimming upstream, and also, sturgeon could be damaged passing downstream through an orifice, we focused on testing a ladder design with vertical openings. A side-baffle ladder design that created vertical openings that alternated from side to side showed promise at passing the three species of sturgeons. All lake sturgeons (<EM>N </EM>= 15), most pallid sturgeons (12 of 22 fish, 55%), and 1 of 3 shovelnose sturgeons ascended the side-baffle design. Also, all sturgeon species moved safely downstream in the side-baffle ladder by passively drifting tail-first. Mean velocity in side-baffle openings was 60–75 cm/s, so sturgeons could use prolonged swimming speed to swim upstream. Vertical openings were wide enough for fish to partially erect their pectoral fins, likely a critical factor for maintaining balance. Our observations suggest that a ladder for adults should have vertical openings, enable fish to swim continuously and not stop at cross-channel barriers, have resting areas, enable fish to safely drift downstream, and enable fish to swim upstream using prolonged swim speed. The study of juvenile sturgeon behavior and swimming ability can contribute to developing a fish ladder for adults. This approach to fish ladder development can be used for other species with large adults.

Abstract:
<em>Abstract.</em>—We examined the swimming performance and behavior of red snapper, <em>Lutjanus campechanus. </em>Our intention was to use this information toward developing a more efficient bycatch reduction device for use in the Gulf of Mexico shrimp trawl fishery. Using a Brett type swim tunnel, we found a significant effect of fish size and season on red snapper critical swimming speeds. For fish ranging between 6 and 17 cm standard length, critical swimming speeds ranged from about 35–70 cm/s, depending upon season. However, critical swimming speeds did not differ between day and night. This was an important observation since the majority of shrimp trawling in the Gulf occurs at night. We constructed and tested in the laboratory, a Vortex Generating Bycatch Reduction Device (VGBRD) that may prove useful in the shrimp trawl fishery. During behavioral tests during daylight, 79.2% of red snapper exited the VGBRD in an average of 4.1 min. However, during night-time tests, only 17.6% of red snapper exited the VGBRD in an average of 5.0 min. Behavioral tests revealed a strong negative phototactic response in dark adapted red snapper. We found that, during night-time tests when the VGBRD was illuminated with LED lights placed downstream of the exit, 96% of red snapper exited the device in 7.1 min. In color/ contrast choice experiments, red snapper unerringly associated with the dark colored (black or dark green) panel placed on the bottom of the experimental tank. In another set of experiments, we found that snapper displayed a strong optomotor response, i.e. the tendency to following and match speeds with a moving pattern. Illumination, color/contrast, and/or the optomotor response may improve bycatch reduction device performance.

Abstract:
The design and control of underwater robots has to contend with the coupled robot-hydrodynamic interactions. A key aspect of this coupled dynamics is the interaction of the robot with the fluid via the vorticity that is created by the robot’s motion. In this paper we develop a simplified and very low dimensional model of this interaction. This is done recognizing that the vortex shedding is a nonholonomic constraint. We apply the harmonic balance approach to analyze and compare the limit cycle in the dynamics of the fish-shaped body propelled by a periodic input with that of a Chaplygin sleigh, a well known nonholonomic system. The dynamics on the limit cycles lead to a very low dimensional model of the swimming of the fish-shaped body that could be very useful from the perspective of controlling a swimming robot.

Abstract:
Research in animal behavior has benefited from the availability of robots able to elicit controllable, customizable, and versatile stimuli in behavioral studies. For example, biologically-inspired robotic fish can be designed to mimic the morphophysiology of predators and conspecifics to study fear response and sociality. However, size is a critical limitation of the existing arrays of robotic fish. Here, we present the design of a miniature robotic fish for future animal-robot interaction studies featuring a novel application of multi-material three-dimensional (3D) printing and utilizing a solenoid for actuation. The use of multi-material printing enables a skeletal design of only two parts, while retaining the complete functionality of larger prototypes enclosing requisite electronics and incorporating an active joint for propulsion. Parametric tests are conducted to test the swimming speed of the robotic fish and a compact dynamic model with two degrees of freedom to elucidate swimming of the robotic fish is presented.

Abstract:
Population density and space limitation have proven important considerations for both fisheries management and aquaculture, resulting in intense interest in the development of new techniques and technologies for management and hatchery applications. To investigate the effects of space limitation and population density on the schooling behavior of fish, we examined the schooling behavior of captive juvenile chub mackerel. Three groups of fish were collected; collections were made at 18, 42, and 73 days post-hatch (dph) at which mean body lengths were 2.28, 8.83, and 11.4 cm, respectively. The two-dimensional movement of individuals during 200-s observation periods was digitized and processed. A mathematical model based on Newton’s second law of motion was used to quantify the forces dominating schooling behavior. The forces of swimming motion were quantified for each fish in a school as the propulsive force due to the swimming ability of each fish, the interactive force used to keep the proper distance and maintain similar velocity with neighboring fish, and the repulsive force used to keep a proper distance from the wall. The magnitude of the repulsive force was minimized in the 18-dph school, maximized in the 42-dph school, and decreased in the 73-dph school. The magnitudes of the propulsive and interactive forces increased with growth. Thus, the interactive force, which was critical for school formation and maintenance appears to reduce the importance of the repulsive force and causes the decline in the repulsive force between 18 and 73 dph.

Abstract:
We investigate the response of groups of zebrafish, a model social organism, to a free-swimming robotic fish. The robot has a body and tail section and moves forward by beating the tail. Steering control is achieved by offsetting the beating tail with respect to the body. The color pattern and shape of the robot are informed by visual cues known to be preferred by zebrafish. A real-time multi-target tracking algorithm uses position and velocity estimates to autonomously maneuver the robot in circular trajectories. Observables of collective behavior are computed from the fish trajectory data to measure cohesiveness, polarization, and speed of the zebrafish group in two different experimental conditions. We show that while fish are significantly less polarized in the presence of the robot with an accompanying change in average speed, there is no significant change in the degree of cohesion.

Abstract:
Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC) are a new class of smart materials that have attractive characteristics such as muscle like softness, low voltage and power consumption, and good performance in aqueous environments. Thus, IPMC’s provide promising application for biomimetic fish like propulsion systems. In this paper, we design and analyze IPMC underwater propulsor inspired from swimming of Labriform fishes. Different fish species in nature are source of inspiration for different biomimetic flapping IPMC fin design. Here, three fish species with high performance flapping pectoral fin locomotion is chosen and performance analysis of each fin design is done to discover the better configurations for engineering applications. In order to describe the behavior of an active IPMC fin actuator in water, a complex hydrodynamic function is used and structural model of the IPMC fin is obtained by modifying the classical dynamic equation for a slender beam. A quasi-steady blade element model that accounts for unsteady phenomena such as added mass effects, dynamic stall, and the cumulative Wagner effect is used to estimate the hydrodynamic performance of the flapping rectangular shape fin. Dynamic characteristics of IPMC actuated flapping fins having the same size as the actual fins of three different fish species, Gomphosus varius, Scarus frenatus and Sthethojulis trilineata, are analyzed with numerical simulations. Finally, a comparative study is performed to analyze the performance of three different biomimetic IPMC flapping pectoral fins.

Abstract:
There are many types of systems in both nature and technology that exhibit limit cycles under periodic forcing. Sometimes, especially in swimming robots, such forcing is used to propel a body forward in a plane. Due to the complexity in studying a fluid system it is often useful to investigate the dynamics of an analogous land model. Such analysis can then be useful in gaining insight about and controlling the original fluid system. In this paper we investigate the behavior of the Chaplygin sleigh under the effect of viscous dissipation and sinusoidal forcing. This is shown to behave in a similar manner as certain robotic fish models. We then apply limit cycle analysis techniques to predict the behavior and control the net translational velocity of the sleigh in a horizontal plane.

Abstract:
Recently, flexible matrix composite (FMC) actuators were demonstrated in a robotic fish for swimming. When actuated at a specific frequency in the experiments, the sinusoidal component of the thrust was eliminated, leaving only a constant thrust. This elimination of the sinusoidal component of the thrust is due to the hydroelastic tailoring of the tail stiffness with the actuation frequency. The FMC actuators are pressure-driven muscle-like actuators capable of large displacements as well as large blocking forces. The FMC actuators can also exhibit a large change in stiffness through simple valve control when the working fluid has a high bulk modulus. Several analytical models have been developed that capture the geometrical and material nonlinearities, the compliance of the inner liner, and entrapped air in the fluid. This paper focuses on the inter fiber compaction in the composite laminate, which is shown to reduce the effective closed-valve stiffness. In this paper, a new analytical model considering the inter fiber compaction effect as well as the material and geometric nonlinearities is developed. Analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the new compaction model can improve the prediction of the response behavior of the actuator.

Abstract:
Flow fields around an oscillating airfoil at the low Reynolds number region are extremely unsteady because the change direction of leading edge produces unsteady vortex motions. Studies of unsteady propulsion system of birds, insects, and fish are few and inconclusive. It has been noted that the unsteady fluid force plays an important role in biological flight. To evaluate the force correctly, it is necessary to know the unsteady properties determined from the vortex dynamics. The actual motion of a hand in swimming is obviously unsteady, and time-dependent fluid forces must be considered, because a quasi-steady-state approach towards predicting the fluid forces acting on a hand under unsteady conditions yielded errors. The three-dimensionality and the unsteady effect of a hand must be important to the estimation of the fluid forces acting on a swimmer’s hand. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between unsteady fluid forces and vortex structures for a three-dimensional airfoil during the pitch-oscillating motion. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to aid in understanding the flow field in the near field of the airfoil edge for the wind tunnel test. It is confirmed that the unsteady fluid forces were affected by the vortices shed from the airfoil edge during up-stroke in pitching oscillation. There are two peaks in the fluid force during one pitch-oscillating due to the vortex behavior. The vortex behavior was strongly affected by the reduced frequency, and the fluid force acting on the airfoil model increases with increasing the reduced frequency.

Abstract:
This study explores the average flow field inside and around stocked Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) fish cages. Laboratory tests and field measurements were conducted to study the effects of biofouling and especially fish behaviour on the flow patterns around and through fish cages. Currents were measured around an empty and a stocked fish cage in a fjord to verify the results obtained from laboratory tests without fish and to study the effects of fish swimming in the cage. Fluorescein, a non-toxic, fluorescent dye, was released inside a stocked fish cage for visualization of 3-dimensional flow patterns inside the cage. Atlantic salmon tend to form a torus shaped school and swim in a circular path, following the net during the daytime. Current measurements around an empty and a stocked fish cage show a strong influence of fish swimming in this circular pattern: while most of the oncoming water mass passes through the empty cage, significantly more water is pushed around the stocked fish cage. Dye experiments show that surface water inside stocked fish cages converges towards the center, where it sinks and spreads out of the cage at the depth of maximum biomass. Furthermore, the converging surface water swirled in the direction of the swimming fish. In order to achieve a circular motion, fish must accelerate towards the center of the cage. This inward-directed force must be balanced by an outward force that pushes the water out of the cage, resulting in a low pressure area in the center of the rotational motion of the fish. Thus, water is pulled from above and below the fish swimming depth. The laboratory tests with empty cages agree well with field measurements around empty fish cages, and give a good starting point for further laboratory tests including the effect of fish-induced currents inside the cage to document the details of the flow patterns inside and adjacent to stocked fish cages. The results of such experiments can be used as benchmarks for numerical models to simulate the water flow in and around net pens, and model the oxygen supply and the spreading of wastes in the near wake of stocked fish farms.
