Fig. 2. Slow and fast straight swimming of zebrafish larvae demonstrating the
distinct swimming gaits during straight swimming. (A) Average velocity across
one locomotor cycle, (B) distance traveled in a locomotor cycle, (C) duration
of a locomotor cycle, (D) Reynolds (Re) number. All comparisons are
significantly different (P<0.0001). All values are given as mean
of three trials for each of 10 individuals for slow (N=30) and five
individuals for fast swimming (N=15). All data consist of one
analyzed tail beat from a longer swimming event. Fish effects were present in
two individuals and were not correlated to length.
