Locomotor Activity Analysis
The motor activities of aquatic animals include various movements to achieve survival and ecological roles. Swimming is most common, utilizing methods such as body/caudal fin (BCF) movements in fish, or limb strokes in mammals. BioVenic provides locomotor activity analysis services for aquatic animals to understand animal behavior, energetics, and adaptation to aquatic environments.
Motor activity analysis studies the movement patterns, behaviors, and adaptations of aquatic animals in different environments, contributes to understanding how aquatic animals navigate their habitats, find food, avoid predators, and interact with their peers, provides valuable insights into the ecology and conservation of aquatic animals, and enhances understanding of their complex lives using modern technologies and methods. In addition, the analysis is critical for assessing the impact of environmental change, habitat degradation, and climate change on species behavior, ultimately informing conservation strategies and enhancing understanding of aquatic biodiversity. The following are the evaluation contents and biological significance of motor activity analysis.
Locomotor activity analysis is essential for understanding movement patterns, behavior, and physiological responses to environmental changes in aquatic animals. Benthos appear to crawl, burrow, or walk. Jet propulsion, seen in cephalopods, provides the speed of a rapid burst. These activities are critical for foraging, predator avoidance, migration, and reproduction, and are influenced by factors, such as currents, temperature, and prey availability. With advanced technical support, BioVenic provides locomotor activity analysis services for marine animals.
BioVenic offers insight into the behavioral, neurophysiological, and toxicological status of aquatic animals by measuring various parameters that can be used to quantify and describe their motor activity.
