| | 1 | work as Distance*Elevation makes sense |

| | 3 | Van Ginneken et al. (2008) estimate a cost of transport (COT)in kj.kg-1.km-1 do the amount of energy will be proportional to the distance covered by silver eel. The additional distance linked to altitude (water current) is relative to |
| | 4 | Vitesse d'écoulement : |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | vitesse instantanée: u = dx/dt |
| | 7 | vitesse moyenne : V |
| | 8 | Dans un chenal, relation empirique de Chezy: |
| | 9 | V= C (h S)1/2 |
| | 10 | C : coefficient de friction de Chezy |
| | 11 | h : profondeur |
| | 12 | S : pente |
| | 13 | As energy is 1/2mv² the energy is related to altitude. With potential energy mgh it also makes sense, but we should add them not multiply... |
