Burst-and-coast swimmers optimize gait by adapting unique intrinsic cycle

Burst-and-coast swimmers optimize gait by adapting unique intrinsic cycle

Li et al. use experimental observations of red-nose tetrafish and mathematical simulations to model the burst-and-coast swimming regime. This study shows that in order to sustain the necessary speed, fish adopt a unique intrinsic cycle by modifying the burst to coast ratio and can implement this pat...
