Size matters even for the ubiquitous fish speed metric of BL/s by Chris Katopodis, Katopodis Ecohydraulics Ltd., and Rick Gervais, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Winnipeg, Canada KatopodisEcohydraulics@live.ca FISH PASSAGE 205 Groningen, The Netherlands, June 22-24
Bainbridge on scaling in fish swimming Bainbridge 958 U/L= 0.25[L(3f 4)] for 3 species U=fish speed (cm/s) L=total length (cm) f=tail beat frequency (Hz) Graphs for trout from Bainbridge 960 NOTE: attempt to scale fish speed with fish length: regression with /L 0.58 collapses data better than cm/s Expressing speed in BL/s (i.e. U/L) is still used in most studies to collapse size-related data. BL/s has dimensions of /s Webb 2006: Remarkably, most of the variation in tail-beat patterns with speed, for three species (dace Leuciscus leuciscus, goldfish Carassius auratus, and trout Salmo irideus=oncorhynchus mykiss) could be expressed in a single equation. Bainbridge s results shored up scattered observations suggesting larger fish achieve higher absolute speeds, but lower relative speeds expressed in BL/s. Knotty problems of how to improve representation of scaling into a single non-dimensional scaling function have largely been ducked since. 2

Concluding remarks The commonly used dimensioned metric of BL/s is dependent on fish length and caution is needed in its use for predicting speeds for fish sizes larger or smaller than available data. The dimensionless speed U * scales well with fish length and provides robust fatigue curve regressions for single or multiple species with similar swimming abilities. We are open to collaboration on meta-analyses of existing fish swimming performance data, including kinematics, and strategies on new research, taking advantage of the ecohydraulic approach which uses dimensionless parameters. 5

Length (cm) > 5; 0 to 5; < 0 Most fish swam at 4 to 2 BL/s 20 seconds Note: only 4 fish exceeded 25 BL/s Fig. 5a. Swim speed fatigue time relationship with data from Bainbridge (960, sensu Brett 964) for rainbow trout (dash-dot) and from Peake et al. (997) for brook trout (short dashes) and brown trout (long dashes) for comparison. NOTE: Fatigue time scale is for data 00 s, yet Peak et al. (997) have data up to 0,000 s, i.e. the most useful prolonged speed data are neglected in this comparison (see slides 7 & 8). Data points in this figure were digitized and analysed to estimate the corresponding fish lengths for the highest swim speeds > 25 BL/s Castro-Santos, Sanz-Ronda & J. Ruiz-Legazpi 203. Brown Trout from Clough & Turnpenny 2000 (red symbols) increasing velocity swim tunnel test superimposed on Castro-Santos et al. 2003 data where the 20 second time step is used as endurance time and the critical swimming speed is swim speed. Data is relatively close fit, where the larger and smaller fish lengths from Clough & Turnpenny fall outside Castro-Santos et al. 203 dataset and fish with a similar lengths have the best fit. 7
