trunkfish differed from the buffalo trunkfish in that it had a larger normalized height and width (smooth trunkfish maximum height and width = 41.3% TL More

buffalo trunkfish figures are the tips of the ventral keels extensions. Mean circulation magnitude and mean peak vorticity magnitude for a dorsal vortex ({Gamma}D and P{omega}D, respectively) and a ventral vortex ({Gamma}V and P{omega}V, respectively) are included beneath the vorticity contour plots.

buffalo trunkfish, have drag coefficients (CD) < 0.1. imageThe characteristics of boxfishes, i.e., rigid exteriors, boxy cross sections with low CD, high stability, and high maneuverability, lend themselves well to biomimetic design. More
