The manta is the largest marine organism to swim by dorsoventral oscillation (flapping) of the pectoral fins. The manta has been considered to swim with a high efficiency stroke, but this assertion has not been previously examined. The oscillatory swimming strokes of the manta were examined by detailing the kinematics of the pectoral fin movements...

... Fontanella [9] and Russo [10] et al. performed computed tomography (CT) scans to study the pectoral fins of the manta-like propulsive fish. The propulsive force of the pectoral fin is related to the spanwise deformation ability, which is explained from the perspective of force and flow field, respectively [11,12]. ...
