The structure of the wake behind a continuously swimming mullet was analysed qualitatively and quantitatively by applying two-dimensional particle image velocimetry. A detailed analysis of the flow pattern and of the swimming movements of the fish allowed us to derive a kinematic explanation of the flow pattern as well as an estimate of the relative contributions of the body and the tail to thrust production. During active propulsion, the undulatory swimming fish shed a wake consisting in the medio-frontal plane of a rearward, zigzagging jet flow between alternating vortices. The fish shed one vortex per half tailbeat when the tail reached its most lateral position. Part of the circulation shed in the vortices had been generated previously on the body by the transverse body wave travelling down the body. This undulatory pump mechanism accounted for less than half of the energy shed in the wake. The remainder was generated by the tail. The vortex spacing matched the tailbeat amplitude and the stride length.
