    This document summarizes information about fish swimming and vision from multiple sources. It includes diagrams and descriptions of fish swimming anatomy and mechanics, different types of fish vision like color vision, light vision and visual acuity. It also discusses visual stimuli and how sound and hearing can be used in fish aggregation devices and to reduce fish entrapment in cooling water intakes, showing sound significantly reduced entrapment rates.

    Fish swimming speeds and endurance

    The stride length of a fish is the distance covered per tail beat (Fig. 1). The velocity
    in m s-1 divided by the tail beat frequency in Hz will give the average stride length
    in m. For comparisons between fish of different sizes and belonging to different
    species, it is sometimes useful to express stride length as a fraction of the body
    length L.

    Aversive Sound to Reduce Fish Entrapment in the
    Cooling Water Intakes

    Prolonged exposure to high water temperature caused deficiency of


    ascorbic acid in the fish’s muscle, which then led to mismatched
    growth between vertebrates and therefore muscles that resulted in
    lordosis formation (Shao et al. 1990 ). Various methods, including
    mechanical screening devices, electric barriers, strobe light, and sound
    (EPRI 1992 , Humbles 1993 ), have been deployed to reduce either
    impingement or entrapment (Ross and Dunning 1996 ).

    During periods when the sound was off, a total of 17 species (1076
    individuals) were entrapped. During the periods when sound was on, 10
    species (572 individuals) were entrapped. The results indicated that
    sound significantly reduced the entrapment rate by almost 50% (Wu et
    al. 2009 ).

    The promising results prompted the planning and execution of the long
    – term use of underwater aversive sound to repel fish from the cooling
    water intakes and discharge sites of nuclear power plants in Taiwan.
