The 32 pages that link to Fish locomotion, each with the reason it gives.

• Ray-finned fishRelated: Fin shape and ray control help determine how ray-finned fishes swim and maneuver.

• Dorsal finRelated: The dorsal fin contributes to maneuvering alongside the fins that generate most thrust.

• TeleostRelated: Teleost body and fin shapes produce diverse swimming styles.

• Pelagic fishRelated: Pelagic fish use sustained swimming to forage and migrate through open water.

• Demersal fishRelated: Some demersal fish swim above the seabed; others use fins to crawl or rest on it.

• Fish anatomyRelated: Muscle and skeletal arrangements determine how body waves generate thrust.

• PlacodermRelated: Placoderm fossils preserve clues to varied swimming forms and fin arrangements.

• IchthyologyRelated: Locomotor form connects fish anatomy to habitat and behavior.

• OarfishRelated: Oarfish use distinctive fin movements to travel while keeping their bodies nearly vertical.

• NeedlefishRelated: Needlefish swim rapidly with body and tail movements while pursuing prey.

• Snipe eelRelated: Their slender bodies and long tails shape how snipe eels move in open water.

• European congerRelated: Undulations of the conger's body propel it through open water and crevices.

• Evolution of fishRelated: Changes in locomotion helped fish exploit habitats from open water to shallow margins.

• Animal finRelated: Fin use varies with swimming speed, maneuvering, and habitat.

• HandfishRelated: Handfish combine fin-based walking with swimming rather than relying on sustained swimming alone.

• TriglidaeRelated: Gurnards offer a distinctive case of walking-like movement with free fin rays.
