Woodworth, Brett Palmeri, Jessica Flannery, Patrick Fregosi, Lydia Donatelli, Cassandra Gerringer, Mackenzie E Animals Swimming Biomechanical Phenomena Fishes Ecosystem Temperature Oceans and Seas Phylogeny Washington Video Recording Although the deep oceans represent Earth's largest habitat, the challenges of studying deep-sea organisms in situ have limited our understanding of adaptation, ecology, and behaviour in these important ecosystems. One fundamental trait of fishes that remains largely unexplored in the deep ocean is swimming, a vital process for movement, migration, and dispersal in marine habitats. Deep-sea conditions such as temperature, pressure, and food availability could each impact the speed and efficiency of swimming in fishes. To investigate swimming kinematics of fishes with increasing depth, we analysed in situ video of bony fishes across a 6000-m depth gradient. We compared open-source videos of fishes from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Exploration with tank-based recordings of shallow-water relatives from Puget Sound, Washington, USA to understand how both habitat depth and phylogeny influence swimming in fishes. We analysed kinematics in four dominant demersal fish groups, the orders Anguilliformes, Gadiformes, Ophidiiformes, and Perciformes. Deep-sea fishes swam consistently slowly. Swimming kinematics varied across temperature, oxygen, body elongation, and depth. These results suggest that swimming kinematics do not change linearly with increasing habitat depth in fishes and that the impacts of deep-sea conditions such as low temperatures, high pressures, and low nutrient availability on swimming behaviour need to be considered independently of one another. These findings provide insight into the evolution of fish form and function in the deep ocean.
