The biogeography of freshwater fish species during and after late-Pleistocene glaciations relate to how these species are genetically organized today, and the management of these often disjunct populations. Debate exists concerning the biogeography and routes of dispersal for Northern pike (Esox lucius) after the last glaciation. A hypothesis to account for the relatively low modern genetic div...

This paper is devoted to the exploration of three-dimensional (3-D) maneuvers using a free-swimming fishlike robot. For the sake of a better maneuverability, an Esox lucius robotic fish consisting of a yawing head, two degrees of freedom pectoral mechanism and multilink body joints together with a caudal fin is developed. With full consideration of both mechanical configuration and propulsive p...

Energy partitioning was studied in the larvae and early juveniles of two species of freshwater fish with different life styles, Coregonus lavaretus and Esox lucius, by measuring simultaneously the rates of feeding, oxygen consumption and growth in long-term experiments. Comparison between the two species is based on measurements at 15 °C, but a group of C. lavaretus was also monitored at 10 °C....
