Fig. 5. (A) Average, rectified area of muscle activity (product of muscle intensity
and burst duration) along the body for all five trout swimming in uniform flow
at 3.5 L s1 (light gray bars) and
Kármán gaiting in a vortex street (dark gray bars). Vertical
lines indicate S.E.M. Note that there is no
white muscle activity (W5 and W6) during either flow treatment. Compared with
trout behind a cylinder, axial muscles of trout swimming in uniform flow have
a significantly greater average rectified area for all locations down the body
except R1 (n=20). Kármán gait R1 muscle activity has a
significantly lower intensity (B) but longer burst duration (C) than R1 muscle
activity during swimming in uniform flow.
