Turbulent flow reduces oxygen consumption in the labriform swimming shiner perch,Cymatogaster aggregata

Abstract: Fish swimming energetics are often measured in laboratory environments which attempt to minimize turbulence, though turbulent flows are common in the natural environment. To test whether the swimming energetics and kinematics of shiner perch, (a labriform swimmer), were affected by turbulence, two flow conditions were constructed in a swim-tunnel respirometer. A low-turbulence flow was created using a common swim-tunnel respirometry setup with a flow straightener and fine-mesh grid to minimize velocity fluctua… Show more

“…The explanation for this is that it is not easy to think of uid adaptation (Kármán gaiting) as a specic behavior in aquatic animals motion but rather to harness high turbulence energy that changes with time. 8 The streamlined body optimizes the pressure gradient of the entire body so that the uid body squeezes the back, abdomen, or side of the aquatic animals to a minimum, and also reduces the effect of differential pressure drag when swimming at high speed. 11 The streamline has a rounded front and pointed rear, smooth surface, and slightly droplet shape; thus, good pressure gradient and laminar ow in water are regarded as the characteristics of a streamlined structure.…”

“…These motion patterns can reduce the follower's energy consumption by 30% and improve the swimming efficiency by 20%. 113 The oxygen consumption of the fish during exercise was measured by; 8 it was a surprise to find that fish consume less oxygen at high turbulence than at low turbulence at medium and high swimming speeds. The explanation for this is that it is not easy to think of fluid adaptation (Kármán gaiting) as a specific behavior in aquatic animals motion but rather to harness high turbulence energy that changes with time.…”

“…These complex flows can be energetically demanding (e.g. Roche et al, 2014;Maia et al, 2015;Schakmann et al, 2020) or beneficial (Taguchi and Liao, 2011;van der Hoop et al, 2018) for fishes, and can have destabilizing effects on important behaviours, including those associated with predator-prey interactions (Webb, 2002;Webb et al, 2010). Currently, the extent to which wave-driven water flow affects fish escape responses is unknown.…”
