Abstract
This study proposes a method of body dynamics analysis for larval zebrafish
incorporating a viscoelastic body model and a fluidic environment model
to support the study of development mechanisms in motion generation. The
results showed that the estimated fluid drag coefficients enabled the body
dynamics model to approximate the paths of actual larvae with an error
level of 0.76±0.74 [%] to the total body length.
