Integrative Fish Biomechanics

Integrative Fish Biomechanics, Volume 41, the latest release in the Fish Physiology series, highlights new advances in the field, with this volume presenting insightful chapters written by leading experts. Covering a wide range of topics, this edition explores the intricate hydrodynamics and biomechanics of fish feeding, swimming, and terrestrial locomotion. It delves into the structural and functional properties of fish tissues, providing a deeper understanding of their mechanical adaptations. Other chapters examine the sensing and control of fish behaviour, the role of biomechanics in fish adhesion, and the emerging field of fish robotics. The volume also discusses the ecomechanics of fish locomotion and feeding, collective behaviours, and the micro- and macroevolutionary perspectives of fish biomechanics. Offering a comprehensive look at the intersection of biology, physics, and engineering, this book provides valuable insights for researchers, marine biologists, and those interested in fish physiology and biomechanics.
