Study Notes
Fish Locomotion
- Carangiform locomotion is characterized by a wave concentrated near the tail, which oscillates rapidly.
- Thunniform locomotion involves rapid swimming with a large powerful crescent-shaped tail.
- Anguilliform locomotion involves a wave passing evenly along a long slender body.
- Labriform locomotion involves mainly a stiff body and movement by pectoral fins.
- Rajiform locomotion utilizes pectoral fins for movement with a mainly stiff body.
- Balistiform locomotion involves burrowing in mud and leaping out of the water.
- Opposed Sculling is associated with labriform locomotion, utilizing dorsal and anal fins.
