FISH SWIMMING: Kinematics, Ecomorphology, Behavior & Environmental Physiology
July 21st - August 23rd , 2013
5 weeks: M-F 8-5; S 8-12
BIOL 533 B (9 credits)
Instructors:
Dr. Paolo Domenici (CNR, Italy)
Dr. John Steffensen (University of Copenhagen, Denmark)
Course description: Fish swimming is a multidisciplinary area of research that encompasses biomechanics, physiology, ecology and
behavior. Knowledge of fish swimming is relevant both for students interested in mechanisms of locomotion, and those interested in
locomotor adaptations to the environment. The main subjects will be1) the kinematics and performance of swimming in fish using various
locomotory modes, 2) the ecomorphology of fish locomotion, 3) locomotor strategies, 4) metabolic aspects of fish swimming, and 5)
the effect of various environmental factors on fish swimming. These topics will be treated in lectures and laboratory sessions. Students
will learn techniques of video analysis, kinematics, energetics and respirometry. The first half of the course will have an emphasis on
lectures and explanations of techniques for studying fish swimming in the laboratory. In the second half of the course, emphasis will be
placed on laboratory work. Students will pursue independent research projects. Enrolment will be limited to 15 graduate students.
