The swim-and-sink behaviour of copepods: a revisit to mechanical power requirement and a new hypothesis on function

Many copepods display a swim-and-sink behaviour, which is not energetically efficient but probably aids in perceiving and capturing diatom chains.Here, computational fluid dynamics was employed to calculate the mechanical power required by a negatively buoyant, Foam Insulation Tape self-propelled copepod in swim-and-sink versus hovering.The results
