reminds me of a paper i read of scientists trying to create the most aerodynamic shape and studying living things and they couldnt make a shape more aerodynamic than a yellow finned tuna because of how perfect it was
Ah, sorry it came out later. My goal with this video is for it to be used and potentially spread around as a useful resource on this topic, so hopefully it helps some more people out. :)
Thank you, I've been fascinated by the physics of locomotion with this form since I came across the sea slug Phylliroe in a discussion re convergent evolution. I had not delved yet... This contribution is the concise platform from which I can view those adaptive pressures. It is an excellent contribution to my understanding a little bit better. Fabulous, detailed, and concise.
The word 'fish' is weird to define taxonomically, because some what we call 'fish' are more closely related to you than to other fish. E.g. you are more closely related to salmon, than salmon are to sharks. So in that way, you could see all vertebrates as being fish, because tetrapods fall right in the middle of the fish clade. Or you could see fish as being any vertebrate that isn't a tetrapod. Or since there isn't a single group of vertebrates called 'fish'... a group called fish doesn't exist. You could interpret this any way.
I think by “tuna” and “seahorses” he means the broader groups Pelagaria/Scombriformes (tuna, mackerel, bluefish, butterfish, pomfrets, etc.) and Syngnatharia/Syngathiformes (seahorses, pipefishes, goatfish, seamoths, etc.)

I remember seeing something on that!
Perfectly adapted to their environment through many evolutionary pressures. :)
It’s so interesting to think how ostraciiforms locomotion has influenced our technology, biomimicry is so cool. I learnt a lot from this video!
I love the variable fish body plans. SO MANY.
It's really interesting to go over! :)
This would have been awesome for my fish diversity test I literally did on Friday :/

I kinda wish this had more video examples of the different forms of swimming and less still images.

Very interesting video!

Indeed it is. It's a good general term, but evolutionarily can get pretty messy.
I'll watch this in a few minutes, love the stuff!
the best fish locomotion is from the lobe finned fish that walk on 4 highly derived fins on land
Quite interesting! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome work! This is one of my favorite niche subjects
Much appreciated!
It was really fun to go over. :)
Salmon use their powerful bootys for maximum speed.
Essentially, yes! XD
Awesome. Great topic.
Many thanks!
What an interesting topic!
It sure is1
❤❤❤
:)
yes! video dropped!
Did I misunderstand? Tuna and seahorses are most closely related to one another? Like elephants and hyraxes?

Yep, this here. It's pretty crazy.
love it!
8:07 Huh?
I love their face. XD
