Aquatic organisms swim in a variety of ways, from jet propulsion to
ciliary action: they swim at a wide range of speeds and span a vast
size range, from bacteria to protists, to the largest whales. One
of the most fascinating aspects of aquatic locomotion is the
remarkable sets of adaptations that have been evolved for different
purposes. This volume brings together research on a wide range of
swimming organisms, with an emphasis on the biomechanics,
physiology and hydrodynamics of swimming in or on water. Several
chapters deal with different aspects of fish swimming, from the use
of different 'gaits' to the operation of the locomotor muscles. All
chapters are by recognized authorities in their different fields,
and all are accessible to biologists interested in aquatic
locomotion.
