The swimming capacity of Barbus bocagei was measured with the critical swimming speed (U(crit)) standard test in a modified Blazka-type swim tunnel. Sixty B. bocagei were tested and they exhibited a mean +/- s.d. U(crit) of 0.81 +/- 0.11 m s(-1) or 3.1 +/- 0.86 total lengths per second (L(T) s(-1)). Sex had no effect on U(crit) but significant differences were found between the swimming performance of fish with distinct sizes.
