PREFACE

 

Locomotion in fish consists of a set of motions and behaviours that are determined by the morphology, anatomy, physiology, and motivation of the particular species in question, as well as extrinsic factors such as water temperature, velocity, concentration of dissolved gasses, and contaminant load. Early studies on the subject typically employed laboratory-based experiments and forced swimming tests to study questions related to fish locomotion, and our understanding of swimming capacity and exercise physiology has benefited (and continues to benefit) immensely from this work. However, there has been an increasing interest in studying fish movements under more natural, and less confining, conditions using new and innovative techniques and technologies. These studies have (1) introduced novel protocols for measuring swimming capacity and physiology, (2) questioned long-held theories related to fish locomotion, (3) integrated behaviour, performance, muscle mechanics, cardiovascular dynamics, energetics, and exercise physiology, and (4) shed new light on complex behaviours such as foraging, migration, and predator avoidance. This symposium seeks to highlight some of these new and exciting areas of research, such that we can continue and build on the rich body of knowledge that has been generated by fish locomotion researchers over the past century.
