“…U max In a recent study, James and Johnston (1998) also found that length-specific during escape responses in the short-U max horned sculpin, Myoxocephalus scorpius, decreased proportionally to total length (L 0.47 ). These decreases in length-specific swimming velocity with increasing total length have been attributed to the contractile properties of the muscles powering burst swimming (Wardle 1980;. In studies on fish muscle, maximum unloaded contraction velocity becomes slower and activation and relaxation times for isometric twitch and tetanic contractions become longer with increasing total length (Altringham and Johnston 1990; Anderson and Johnston 1992;).…”

“…Not surprisingly, faststart performance (or burst swimming) is often used in physiological studies as an ecologically relevant measure of performance and a practical method of collecting information on fitness (Huey and Stevenson 1979). Body size has a significant influence on swimming performance (Bainbridge 1958;Wardle 1975;Webb 1977) and escape success from predators (Bailey and Batty 1984;Swain 1992). Knowledge of the relationship between body size and swimming performance can reveal information about changes in vulnerability to predation during growth and development.…”

The University of Chicago Press ABSTRACTThe effect of ontogenetic increases in total length on burst swimming performance was investigated in tadpoles of the striped marsh frog (Limnodynastes peronii) over the total-length range of 1.5-4 cm and Gosner developmental stages 25-38. The burst swimming performance of tadpoles at 10Њ and 24ЊC was determined by videotaping startle responses with a highspeed video camera at 200 Hz and analysing the sequences frame by frame. Maximum swimming velocity ( ) and ac-U max celeration ( ) increased with total length (L) at a rate that A max was proportionally greater than the increase in total length (i.e., positive allometry; exponents 11) and was described by the allometric equations and at changes in water viscosity did not affect the relationship between total length and burst swimming performance. At their , Reynolds numbers ranged from approximately 1,500 in U max the smaller tadpoles up to 50,000 for the larger animals at 24ЊC. We suggest the positive allometry of in larval L. peronii U max was due in part to the increases in tail width (TW) with total length ( L 1.66 ), possibly reflecting the increasing im-TW = Ϫ1.36

“…Experimental studies carried out in Great Britain (WARDLE, 1980;ZHOU, 1982;BEACH, 1984) allowed a number of empirical expressions to be obtained, which define the relationship between swimming speed, endurance, temperature, size and morphology of the fish.…”

La propulsion de la plupart des espèces dans leur activité de migration (en particulier le franchissement des obstacles) est assurée par l'ondulation du corps et de la nageoire caudale.Des expérimentations (WARDLE, 1975) ont montré que la distance parcourue (A) par le poisson à chaque ondulation du corps peut varier entre 0.6 et 0.8 fois sa longueur (L). La vitesse de nage peut donc s'exprimer sous la forme : CHAPITRE 3
