The aim of this study is to investigate how external nutrient supply affects the allocation of reproductive energy during artificial ripening of American eels (Anguilla rostrata), as well as the physiological regulatory mechanisms involved in their bodies. Healthy female American eels were selected for the experiment and randomly divided into two groups: feeding group and starvation group (simulating the natural migration of A...

The development of energy-efficient propulsion systems for autonomous sailboats requires innovative sail designs that balance aerodynamic performance and maritime operational reliability. This study presents a novel rigid wing sail system comprising a NACA 0020 main sail with an embedded NACA 0018 tail sail, specifically designed for uncrewed ocean navigation. Through systematic CFD analysis using ANSYS Fluent 2022R1, three co...

Bionic-legged robots draw inspiration from animal locomotion methods and structures, demonstrating the potential to traverse irregular and unstructured environments. The ability of Portunus trituberculatus (Portunus) to run flexibly and quickly in amphibious environments inspires the design of systems and locomotion methods for amphibious robots. This research describes an amphibious crab-like robot based on Portunus and desig...
