Relative to the best-fit model, the 5th best model includes causal paths between head height → fitness, head length → fitness, tail muscle height → maximum swim speed, and maximum swim speed → fitness.
Outliers from the estimated tag locations were removed using a filtering algorithm [ 11] with a maximum swim speed of 25 km h−1, and a continuous time correlated random walk model [ 12] was fitted to the remaining locations to estimate displacement velocities.
Further experimental evidence for a role of n-6 PUFAs in enhancing muscular function comes from dietary fatty acid manipulations in Atlantic salmon which had strong effects on maximum swimming speeds [4].
Furthermore, for all the combinations of activation strength and tail beat frequency that gave such maximum swimming speeds, the ratio of the speed of the wave of curvature to the wave of muscle activation was approximately 0.75.
We tracked straight-swimming individuals at maximum swimming-speed with the image analysis software cell∧D (version 3.2).
The maximum swimming speed and the minimum turning radius reached 112 mm/s and 136 mm, respectively.
We present a numerical example of a swimming organism in a Brinkman flow which shows that the maximum swimming speed is obtained with a small but non-zero value of the porosity.
where b is the chemotaxis constant (which has the dimension of length) and Wmo is the maximum swimming speed of a microorganism (the product bWmo is assumed to be constant).
For instance, it has been shown that experimentally n-6 PUFA-enriched diets increase the maximum swimming speed in salmon.
In Atlantic salmon, for instance, dietary fatty acid composition and resulting changes in muscle lipid composition significantly affected maximum swimming speed.
