The 27 pages that link to Caudal fin, each with the reason it gives.

• Fish locomotionBroader topic: Its shape and motion strongly influence thrust, speed, and maneuverability.

• IchthyosauriaBroader topic: The lower lobe was supported by the downward-bent end of the vertebral column.

• TailBroader topic: In many fishes, the tail’s fin supplies thrust for swimming.

• Thunniform locomotionBroader topic: Its shape and motion determine much of the thrust in thunniform swimming.

• Cetacean locomotionBroader topic: Cetaceans’ horizontal tail flukes are caudal fins that drive their characteristic up-and-down strokes.

• Fish finBroader topic: Its size and shape strongly influence thrust and swimming performance.

• Animal finBroader topic: In many fishes, the caudal fin supplies much of the forward thrust.

• Bathypterois grallatorBroader topic: Its elongated lower caudal-fin rays help support the fish in its characteristic stance.

• FilefishBroader topic: Filefish can use the tail for bursts of speed when maneuvering or escaping.

• HeterocongrinaeBroader topic: Garden eels use tail movements to dig and secure their burrows.
