The Zebrafish Swim Tunnel consists of a temperature buffer tank, propeller, test section and an AC motor
For the test, fish were placed in a swim tunnel with an adjustable flow that forced fish to swim to maintain their position
The test section was large enough to allow zebrafish to perform various swimming gaits
During the test, water temperature was maintained at acclimation temperature (28 °C)
Zebrafish were tested under infrared light to reduce any visual disturbances that could affect swimming
An infrared camera and high-speed cameras were mounted above the swim tunnel to record the swimming tests
Swim Tunnel Software included
Equipment and Apparatus
The Zebrafish Swim Tunnel consists of a transparent rectangular tank with a capacity of 10 liters and a velocity range of 4-35 cm/s. Inside the tank, there is a transparent tunnel-shaped test area (30 cm in length x 10 cm in width and 10 cm in height). The test area is provided with a propeller connected to an AC motor and an electronic controller. The Electronic controller controls the flow speed of the water
Swim tunnel max volume: 6L3
Length of test section: 30 cm
Width of test section: 10 cm
Height of test section: 20 cm
Minimum-maximum velocity: 4-40 cm/second (can be upgraded to 4-55 cm/s if required, please enquire)
