Effects of fish caudal fin sweep angle and kinematics on thrust production during low-speed thunniform swimming

Scombrid fish lunate caudal fins are characterized by a wide range of sweep angles. Scombrid that have small sweep-angle caudal fins move at higher swimming speeds, suggesting that smaller angles produce more thrust. Furthermore, scombrids occasionally use high angles of attack (AoA) suggesting this...
