Hydrodynamic trail detection in marine
organisms
Hydrodynamic trails are generated when
objects move though a fluid medium. These
vortices provide robust, persistent stimuli
that can convey spatial and temporal
information. Facial vibrissae, or whiskers,
in phocid seals, and antennae in lobsters
contain receptors that detect waterborne
vibrations and hydrodynamic trails. This is
critical for prey capture and predator
avoidance, allowing hunting and navigation in
dark or murky waters.
In this piece, there is interplay between the
detection of hydrodynamic trails by organisms
at different trophic levels in the marine
environment.
The movement of the lobsters generates
hydrodynamic signals with spinning vortex
structures, conveying information about their
locomotion and spatial location. These
signals propagate through the fluid medium
and are detected by the whiskers of a nearby
seal. The receptors on the whiskers of this
animal enable it to track and localize its
potential prey. However, the antennae of the
lobsters also possess hydrodynamic receptors.
The lobsters sense the predators approach
and attempt to escape.
Once a shark begins swimming overhead, its
hydrodynamic trails are sensed by all of the
nearby organisms, signaling the presence of a
large predator. Detection of the sharks
hydrodynamic signals allows the smaller
organisms to seek shelter and avoid
predation. The hydrodynamic wake extending
behind the shark is visualized in this dance
by the trailing movement of the silks.
The fire and illuminated hoops in the next
segment represent the availability of
hydrodynamic signals in low light conditions.
In environments where visual information is
limited, such as dark, deep and murky water,
hydrodynamic signals become the predominant
stimuli.
