The numerous health benefits provided by fish consumption may be compromised by the
presence of toxic metals and metalloids such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury, which …

Fishes suspended in water are subject to the complex nature of three-dimensional flows.
Often, these flows are the result of abiotic and biotic sources that alter otherwise uniform …

Confluences act as critical nodes in a river system. They affect hydrodynamics, sediment
transport, bed morphology, and eco-hydraulics of the river system. Convergence of streams …

Vertebrate animals exploit the elastic properties of their tendons in several different ways.
Firstly, metabolic energy can be saved in locomotion if tendons stretch and then recoil …

Undulatory swimming in fish is powered by the segmental body musculature of the
myotomes. Power generated by this muscle and the interactions between the fish and the …

Fish larvae, like most adult fish, undulate their bodies to propel themselves. A detailed
kinematic study of the larval body wave is a prerequisite to formulate a set of functional …

One of the emerging themes of fish-inspired robotics is flexibility. Adding flexibility to the
body, joints, or fins of fish-inspired robots can significantly improve thrust and/or efficiency …

Elasmobranchs and bony fishes have evolved independently for more than 400 million
years. However, two Recent groups, the lamnid sharks (Family Lamnidae) and tunas (Family …

The concentrations and relationships between individual mercury species and total mercury
were investigated in different muscle parts and sizes of Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) …

Thunniform swimming, the capacity to conserve metabolic heat in red muscle and other
body regions (regional endothermy), an elevated metabolic rate and other physiological rate …
