Swimming behaviors of four species of cnidarian hydromedusae (Aequorea victoria, Mitrocoma cellularia, Stomotoca atra, Aglantha digitale) exposed to two flow conditions in a laboratory turbulence generator - still water and turbulent (ε ~10-7 m2 s-3) were examined.
A two-way ANOVA was used to test for significant effects of species, flow level (still and turbulent) and their interaction on swimming behavior parameters, including depth in the tank, observed speed, acceleration, NGDR, and time spent swimming. Raw data that did not meet the assumption of normality were square root transformed. Proportion data (NGDR, and time spent swimming) that did not meet the assumption of normality were arcsine square root transformed, which is appropriate for proportion data (Zar, 1999).
