    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_locomotion

    Fish locomotion is the various types of animal locomotion used by fish, principally by swimming. This is achieved in different groups of fish by a variety of mechanisms of propulsion, most often by wave-like lateral flexions of the fish's body and tail in the water, and in various specialised fish by motions of the fins .

    Kinematically mobuliform swimming consists of low frequency, high amplitude fin flapping with less than one waveform present on the fin at a time. In order to increase speed pelagic rays will increase the frequency of pectoral flaps. [4] Rays are at a disadvantage compared to other fish when it comes to maneuverability.

  6. Shoaling and schooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoaling_and_schooling

    If the shoal becomes more tightly organised, with the fish synchronising their swimming so they all move at the same speed and in the same direction, then the fish may be said to be schooling. [1] [3] [b] Schooling fish are usually of the same species and the same age/size. Fish schools move with the individual members precisely spaced from ...

  7. Electrofishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrofishing

    Usually pulsed direct current (DC) is applied, which causes galvanotaxis in the fish. Galvanotaxis is uncontrolled muscular convulsion that results in the fish swimming towards the anode. Teams of at least two people are recommended for an effective electrofishing crew: one to operate the anode, and the other to catch the stunned fish with a ...
