From: An inertial mechanism behind dynamic station holding by fish swinging in a vortex street

Figure 7

Fish muscle curvature at different phases of the fish streamwise position with respect to vortices. Blue—regular swimming outside the wake, red—swinging in the wake. Clear dependence of the curvature on the position in the vortex street suggests fish adjust the body shape to improve efficiency of interaction with the cross-flow. The figure shows data acquired from fish #1 swinging in the hydrofoil wake with an oscillation frequency of 2 Hz.
