New records of marine eels (Teleostei: Anguilliformes) from Brazilian waters [PDF]
Check List, 2017 Two species of different families belonging to the order Anguilliformes have their ranges extended in the southwestern Atlantic: the chlopsid Chlopsis dentatus (Seale, 1917) from Rio de Janeiro and the muraenid Gymnothorax maderensis (Johnson, 1862) from

First record of Baseodiscus mexicanus (Bürger, 1893) (Nemertea: Heteronemertea) from Japanese waters [PDF]
Check List, 2012 The heteronemertean Baseodiscus mexicanus (Bürger, 1893) was previously known exclusively from the eastern Pacific, except for fragmentary records from Palau and Indonesia, which suggested a possible amphi-Pacific tropical distribution. A single specimen

Simulations of optimized anguilliform swimming [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 SUMMARYThe hydrodynamics of anguilliform swimming motions was investigated using three-dimensional simulations of the fluid flow past a self-propelled body. The motion of the body is not specified a priori, but is instead obtained through an evolutionary algorithm used to optimize the swimming efficiency and the burst swimming speed. The results of the

Backward swimming in elongated-bodied abyssal demersal fishes: Synaphobranchidae, Macrouridae, and Ophidiidae. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract The deep‐sea demersal fish fauna is characterized by a prevalence of elongated‐body forms with long tapering tails. Using baited camera landers at depths of 4500–6300 m in the Pacific Ocean, we observed multiple instances of backward swimming using reverse undulation of the slender body in four species: the cutthroat eel Ilyophis robinsae ...

Development of cytochrome-c-oxidase 1 specific primers for genetic discrimination of the European eel Anguilla anguilla (Linnaeus, 1758). [PDF]
Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research, 2016 The European eel Anguilla anguilla (Anguillidae, Anguilliformes) is amongst the most peculiar, economically-important fish species in the Egyptian and Mediterranean waters. Very rare studies are available about its populations in the Mediterranean.

Diving into a Simple Anguilliform Swimmer’s Sensitivity [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2020 SynopsisComputational models of aquatic locomotion range from modest individual simple swimmers in 2D to sophisticated 3D multi-swimmer models that attempt to parse collective behavioral dynamics. Each of these models contain a multitude of model input parameters to which its outputs are inherently dependent, that is, various performance metrics.

Design of a Depth Control Mechanism for an Anguilliform Swimming Robot [PDF]
Biomimetics, 2021 This paper discusses the design and implementation of a depth control mechanism for an anguilliform swimming robot. Researchers analyzed three different methods of controlling the depth of the robot, including out-of-plane thrust direction, use of foil on the head and buoyancy control at the head and tail. It was determined that buoyancy control at the
