Article Synopsis
- Benthic fish like the round goby swim close to the bottom, particularly in fast-moving water, and researchers aimed to investigate if this offers them a hydraulic advantage based on their position and substrate type.
- Experiments measured the hydraulic forces on preserved fish at different heights above smooth and rough surfaces in a flow channel, finding no significant difference in forces at the bottom, but higher forces in the water column above rough surfaces.
- A convolutional neural network analysis indicated that the fish's body posture and movements play a more critical role in the forces they experience than their height in the water, leading to discussions about why they prefer swimming near the bottom.
