  3. Fish locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_locomotion

    Fish locomotion is the various types of animal locomotion used by fish, principally by swimming. This is achieved in different groups of fish by a variety of mechanisms of propulsion, most often by wave-like lateral flexions of the fish's body and tail in the water, and in various specialised fish by motions of the fins.

    A wing-clipped Meyer's parrot perching on a drawer handle. While clipping is endorsed by some avian veterinarians, others oppose it. [7]By restricting flight, wing clipping may help prevent indoor birds from risking injury from ceiling fans or flying into large windows, but no evidence shows that clipped birds are safer than full-winged ones, only that clipped birds are subject to different ...

  6. Tradeoffs for locomotion in air and water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tradeoffs_for_locomotion...

    Tradeoffs for locomotion in air and water. Penguins swim by "flying" beneath the surface of the water. Flying fish use their pectoral fins to glide above the water's surface. Certain species of fish and birds are able to locomote in both air and water, two fluid media with very different properties. A fluid is a particular phase of matter that ...

  9. Fishing techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_techniques

    There is an intricate link between various fishing techniques and knowledge about the fish and their behaviour including migration, foraging and habitat. The effective use of fishing techniques often depends on this additional knowledge. [1] Which techniques are appropriate is dictated mainly by the target species and by its habitat. [2]
