Longer Development Provides First-Feeding Fish with the Jaw Kinematics to Escape Hydrodynamic Constraints
Meeting Abstract 4-1 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:00 – 08:15 Longer Development Provides First-Feeding Fish with the Jaw Kinematics to Escape Hydrodynamic Constraints DIAL, TR*; LAUDER, GV; Harvard University; Harvard University trdial@gmail.com The viscous fluid environment experienced by small, first-feeding fishes resists the ability to produce suction. Compounding the negative effects of small size is the observation that […]
Hydrodynamic constraints on jet propulsion in squid paralarvae at intermediate Reynolds numbers
Meeting Abstract 4-5 Saturday, Jan. 4 09:00 – 09:15 Hydrodynamic constraints on jet propulsion in squid paralarvae at intermediate Reynolds numbers LI, DH*; KATIJA, K; GILLY, WF; Stanford University; Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute; Stanford University dhli816@gmail.com http://www.dianahli.com Squid are known for their use of jet propulsion, and paralarvae rely on this locomotor strategy immediately after hatching.
