Abstract
Adam Downie studied the development of swimming abilities of coral reef fishes during their larval phase. He found that reef fish larvae require high oxygen uptake rates to support development and swimming, mediated by genetic, cellular, and muscle-tissue changes. These physiological mechanisms are important for understanding how reef fish larvae swim toward and transition to life on the reef.
