Intermittent propulsion in largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides , increases power production at low swimming speeds

Locomotion dominates animal energy budgets, and selection should favour behaviours that minimize transportation costs. Recent fieldwork has altered our understanding of the preferred modes of locomotion in fishes. For instance, bluegill employ a sustainable intermittent swimming form with 2-3 tail b...
