Meeting Abstract 80.6 Monday, Jan. 6 11:30 Streamwise Vortices Destabilize Swimming Bluegill Sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) MAIA, A.*; SHELTZER, A.P.; TYTELL, E.D.; Eastern Illinois University; Tufts University; Tufts University amresendedamaia@eiu.edu In their natural environment, fish must swim stably through unsteady flows and notices. Fish can correct heading rapidly, but the corrections take energy. Previous studies have examined the […]
