Meeting Abstract 54.1 Thursday, Jan. 6 Effect of Funnel Aperture Variation on Jet Dynamics of Squid BARTOL, I.K.; Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA ibartol@odu.edu Squids employ a dual mode propulsive system involving a pulsed jet and complex fin movements, both of which are capable of producing multiple wake modes. The two most prominent hydrodynamic jet modes observed […]

Dorsal Fin Muscle Activity During Steady Swimming in Two Shark Species
Meeting Abstract 54.2 Thursday, Jan. 6 Dorsal Fin Muscle Activity During Steady Swimming in Two Shark Species MAIA, Anabela*; WILGA, Cheryl D.; Univ. of Rhode Island; Univ. of Rhode Island amaia@my.uri.edu Elasmobranch dorsal fins have simpler muscoskeletal systems than teleost fishes. This has not deterred elasmobranchs from occupying most available ecological niches. The goal of this study […]
