Flexible paddle sheds new light on speed: a novel method for the remote measurement of swim speed in aquatic animals

Speed is a key determinant of energy expenditure in free-living animals, and particularlyin marine vertebrates, where power requirements for swimming increase as a cubed function ofthe speed. However, current devices used to measure swim speed in free-living animals have limitations,including excess...
