Hello, My name is Taylor Spaulding, I'm a graduate student at California State University- Fresno. My lab is looking to do experiments on groups of fish ranging from 30 to 120 mm within a swim tunnel at velocities up to 45 cm/s. I have seen quite a few different styles of swim tunnel, from the elaborate Stephenson types from Loligo and Qubit to more DIY -styles involving Duct Piping and Fiberglass Test chamber. This project is currently running on a very low budget, but we would like to fabricate or buy the best possible swim tunnel, which would minimize handling and outside stress.
Originally our experimental design involved cylindrical tanks, in which water flowed in a circle. However, flow is not consistent at all locations, and so that idea has been shelved for the time being. If anyone on-list has any ideas of avenues we could pursue, I would be most appreciative! Thank you very much!
