SHORT COMMUNICATION THE ROLE OF THE PECTORAL FINS IN STATION-HOLDING OF ATLANTIC SALMON PARR (SALMO SALAR L.)
Benthic fish resist downstream displacement in a current by balancing drag, the force orientated downstream, with the friction force. The friction force is n(Wo—L), where n is the friction coefficient, Wo the weight force of the fish in water (N), and L the lift force (N) acting on the body and fins...
