Sperm chemotaxis in marine species is optimal at physiological flow rates according theory of filament surfing

Sperm of marine invertebrates have to find eggs cells in the ocean. Turbulent flows mix sperm and egg cells up to the millimeter scale; below this, active swimming and chemotaxis become important.
