One of the emerging themes of fish-inspired robotics is flexibility. Adding flexibility to the
body, joints, or fins of fish-inspired robots can significantly improve thrust and/or efficiency …

In the first part of this paper we review current knowledge regarding fish scales, focusing on
elasmoid scales, the only type found in two model species, the zebrafish and the medaka …

A class of recessive lethal zebrafish mutations has been identified in which normal skeletal
muscle differentiation is followed by a tissue-specific degeneration that is reminiscent of the …

Fish larvae, like most adult fish, undulate their bodies to propel themselves. A detailed
kinematic study of the larval body wave is a prerequisite to formulate a set of functional …

Anguilliform swimmers are long and narrow animals that propel themselves by undulating
their bodies. Observations in nature and recent investigations suggest that anguilliform …

Most aquatic vertebrates use suction to capture food, relying on rapid expansion of the
mouth cavity to accelerate water and food into the mouth. In ray-finned fishes, mouth …

Bruck syndrome (BS) is a disorder characterized by joint flexion contractures and skeletal
dysplasia that shows strong clinical overlap with the brittle bone disease osteogenesis …

The anatomical complexity of myomeres and myosepta has made it difficult to develop a
comprehensive understanding of the relationship between muscle fiber architecture …

Suction-feeding fishes capture food by fast and forceful expansion of the mouth cavity, and
axial muscles probably provide substantial power for this feeding behavior. Dorsal …

Chop** and salting are two important processing steps in emulsified meat products.
Effects of chop** and salting on metabolic process, protein functionality, and ultrastructure …
