[Bgsa] Fwd: Fish Swimming Course

[Mandy Banet]

Hey Guys,

	I'm forwarding some information for a Fish Swimming Course offered at  
Friday Harbor Labs on San Juan Island (Part of the University of  
Washington).  I took the course two years ago and Chris O. took it  
four years ago and we both really enjoyed it.  The instructors are  
both really great, the facilities are nice, and they usually offer  
some financial assistance to nearly all students, so it's not really  
that expensive.  I highly recommend it.

If the pasted flyer comes out all wonky, I attached the original word  
document as well.

SUMMER GRADUATE COURSE

AT FRIDAY HARBOR LABORATORIES,  WA, USA.





FISH SWIMMING: Kinematics, Ecomorphology, Behavior & Environmental  
Physiology


June 15 - July 17, 2009
5 weeks: M-F 8-5; S 8-12
Fish 565 (9 credits)
Instructors:
Dr. Paolo Domenici (CNR, Italy)
Dr. John Steffensen (University of Copenhagen, Denmark)
    Course description: Fish swimming is a multidisciplinary area of  
research that encompasses biomechanics, physiology, ecology and  
behavior. Knowledge of fish swimming is relevant both for students  
interested in mechanisms of locomotion, and those interested in  
locomotor adaptations to the environment. The main subjects will be 1)  
the kinematics and performance of swimming in fish using various  
locomotory modes, 2) the ecomorphology of fish locomotion, 3)  
locomotor strategies, 4) metabolic aspects of fish swimming, and 5)  
the effect of various environmental factors on fish swimming. These  
topics will be treated in lectures and laboratory sessions. Students  
will learn techniques of video analysis, kinematics, energetics and  
respirometry. The first half of the course will have an emphasis on  
lectures and explanations of techniques for studying fish swimming in  
the laboratory. In the second half of the course, emphasis will be  
placed on laboratory work. Students will pursue independent research  
projects. Enrollment will be limited to 12 graduate students.
