A tale of two fish tails: does a forked tail really perform better than a truncate tail when cruising? by Tack, Nils B, Gemmell, Brad J

“…Many fishes use their tail as the main thrust producer during swimming. This fin's diversity in shape and size influences its physical interactions with water…”

Fish can use coordinated fin motions to recapture their own vortex wake energy by Tack, Nils B, Du Clos, Kevin T, Gemmell, Brad J

“…During swimming, many fishes use pectoral fins for propulsion and, in the process, move substantial amounts of water rearward. However, the effect that this…”
