Swimming Energy Economy in Bottlenose Dolphins Under Variable Drag Loading

Swimming Energy Economy in Bottlenose Dolphins Under Variable Drag Loading

Instrumenting animals with tags contributes additional resistive forces (weight, buoyancy, lift, and drag) that may result in increased energetic costs; however, additional metabolic expense can be moderated by adjusting behavior to maintain power output. We sought to increase hydrodynamic drag for...
