Analysis on Swimming Behavior of Dolphin with Artificial Tail Flukes
Dolphins have high propulsion and maneuvering performances. Dolphin’s tail flukes play an important role to generate propulsive force. We paid attention to a dolphin that lost most part of its tail flukes by disease kept in an aquarium, Okinawa, Japan. The dolphin could swim by attaching artificial tail flukes as well as a normal dolphin. The objective of this study is to discuss the effectiven...
متن کاملBending Properties of Tail Flukes of Dolphin*
The aim of this paper is to study the bending properties of tail flukes of a dolphin. The bending test was carried out to obtain the displacements on different test points of a fluke. The Young’s moduli of the ligamentous layer and the dense connective tissue in the flukes were obtained from the tensile test and the compression test. In order to establish an FEM model for bending deformation of...
متن کاملIntervention to Improve the Quality of Life of a Bottlenose Dolphin That Developed Necrosis on the Tail Flukes
[Purpose, Case, and Methods] A female bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) in captivity developed necrosis of the tail flukes. Although the diseased site healed after surgical resection, the loss of approximately 75% of the tail greatly affected her swimming performance. To restore swimming ability, we developed artificial tail flukes as a prosthetic swimming aid and provided physical therap...

متن کاملTwo morbilliviruses implicated in bottlenose dolphin epizootics.
Sequence analysis was performed on viral RNA isolated from bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) that died during two chronologically and geographically separate epizootics in North America. Both dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) and porpoise morbil-livirus (PMV) were detected in bottlenose dolphins that died during the 1987 U.S. Atlantic coast epizootic. Our results indicate not only that these v...
