Body Form, Locomotion and Foraging in Aquatic Vertebrates
- P. Webb
- Biology
- 1 February 1984
Four functional categories are denned to embrace the range of locomotor diversity of aquatic vertebrates; (1) body/caudal fin (BCF) periodic propulsion where locomotor movements repeat, as occurs in… Expand
The swimming energetics of trout. II. Oxygen consumption and swimming efficiency.
- P. Webb
- Chemistry, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental biology
- 1 October 1971
1. The oxygen consumption of rainbow trout was measured at a variety of subfatigue swimming speeds, at a temperature of 15 %C. Five groups of fish were used, a control group and four groups with… Expand
Fast-start Performance and Body Form in Seven Species of Teleost Fish
- P. Webb
- Biology
- 1 June 1978
Fast-start kinematics and performance were determined for Etheostoma caeruleum, Cottus cognatus, Notropis cornutus, Lepomis macrochirus, Perca flavescens, Salmo gairdneri and a hybrid Esox sp. at an… Expand

Locomotor Patterns in the Evolution of Actinopterygian Fishes
- P. Webb
- Biology
- 1 May 1982
SYNOPSIS. Locomotor adaptations in actinopterygian fishes are described for (a) caudal propulsion, used in cruising and sprint swimming, acceleration, and fast turns and (b) median and paired fin… Expand
The effect of size on the fast-start performance of rainbow trout Salmo cairdneri, and a consideration of piscivorous predator-prey interactions.
- P. Webb
- Medicine
- The Journal of experimental biology
- 1976
The fast-start (acceleration) performance of seven groups of rainbow trout from 9-6 to 38-7 cm total length was measured in response to d.c. electric shock stimuli. Two fast-start kinematic patterns,… Expand
THE EFFECT OF SIZE AND SWIMMING SPEED ON LOCOMOTOR KINEMATICS OF RAINBOW TROUT
- P. Webb, P. Kostecki, E. D. Stevens
- Biology
- 1 March 1984
1. During swimming at constant speed the frequency ( f ), amplitude ( a ) and depth ( d ) of the tail trailing edge, and the length of the propulsive wave (λ) were measured for rainbow trout ranging… Expand

Functional Locomotor Morphology of Early Life History Stages of Fishes
Abstract Routine activities of early life history stages of fishes occur in an intermediate hydrodynamic environment (as identified by Reynolds numbers), between a zone where drag is linearly… Expand
The swimming energetics of trout. I. Thrust and power output at cruising speeds.
- P. Webb
- Geology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental biology
- 1 October 1971
1. The wavelength, tail-beat frequency and trailing-edge amplitude have been measured for five groups of rainbow trout at various subfatigue cruising speeds. Four groups of fish were fitted with… Expand
