Swim Kinetics

  • Multiple body point tracking
  • Bending tool for body oscillation and tail beat frequency tracking
  • Swim tunnels allow for the measurement of metabolic rate as well as swim kinematics
  • Time to exhaustion and other video capture data
  • Manipulation of water conditions to test physiological and swimming performance
Example of a fish in a respirometry chamber

  • High-throughput Loligo respirometry systems for small invertebrates/embryos to adult fish​
  • Swim tunnel respirometry system to measure metabolic rates in flow-through aquaria​
  • Automated video capture and measurement of behavior in tunnels for swim kinematic analysis​
  • LoliTrak 5 Behavioral Analysis software and configurable video capture equipment  ​
  • Two computer workstations with Loligo software ​
  • Network connections and wifi routers throughout the facility​
  • Animal procedure space available​
