Kinematic responses to rolling perturbations during swimming in the bluegill sunfish

Meeting Abstract 87-6  Monday, Jan. 6 11:15 – 11:30  Kinematic responses to rolling perturbations during swimming in the bluegill sunfish FATH, M*; NASIMI, F; TYTELL, E ; Tufts University michael.fath@tufts.edu Many fishes are unstable in roll.
