Selected Adaptive Strategies: Bioluminescence
Caudal (Tail) Fins • most important for speed • flared to increase vertical thrust
ROUNDED fin (e.g., angelfish) very flexible, slow-speed manuevering
TRUNCATE fin (e.g., coho salmon) somewhat flexible, manuevering
FORKED fin (e.g., yellow goatfish) somewhat flexible, manuevering
LUNATE fin (e.g., bluefin tuna or blue marlin) very rigid, no good for manuevering, built for pure speed
HETEROCERCAL fin (“uneven tail) • most of mass & surface area in upper part to produce lift • pectorals balance to aid lift, but limits manueverability
Giant Squid: • traps water in mantle and forcefully jettisons it from siphon in head
• active predator of fish • arms to capture • tentacles to bring to beak • both lined with suckers
The Kraken is a legend, but giant squid DO exist! …~20 feet long!
