Scalloped hammerhead sharks swim on their side with diel shifts in roll magnitude and periodicity

Abstract Background Great hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna mokarran) routinely swim on their sides and periodically roll from side to side. A previous study used wind tunnel tests with a rigid model hammerhead shark to demonstrate that the rolling behavior could improve swimming efficiency using the tall...
