Quantifying swimming performance of freshwater fishes typically requires sophisticated and expensive laboratory equipment, thus precluding many labs from including this component of behavior in niche analyses. Therefore, the objective of this project was to review existing performance chambers, analyze design facets from a hydrological engineering perspective, and incorporate these features into the design of a novel chamber that is feasible and affordable for any ecology lab to construct. A myriad of racetrack, flow through, and submerged tube designs were reviewed and analyzed for balancing cost and efficiency using a combination of financial budget balancing and computational fluid dynamic analyses (conducted using SC/Tetra CFD and Solid...
