Swimming at Increasing Speeds in Steady and Unsteady Flows of Atlantic Salmon : Oxygen Consumption, Locomotory Behaviour and Overall Dynamic Body Acceleration.

The swimming performance of cultured finfish species is typically studied under steady flow conditions. However, flow conditions are mostly unsteady, for instance, as experienced in sea pens in exposed sea areas. Using a Loligo swim tunnel, we investigated the effects of swimming in steady and unsteady flows at increasing swimming speeds on post-smolt Atlantic salmon.

Heart Rate and Acceleration Dynamics during Swim-Fitness and Stress Challenge Tests in Yellowtail Kingfish ().

The yellowtail kingfish is a highly active and fast-growing marine fish with promising potential for aquaculture. In this study, essential insights were gained into the energy economy of this species by heart rate and acceleration logging during a swim-fitness test and a subsequent stress challenge test. Oxygen consumption values of the 600-800 g fish, when swimming in the range of 0.
