Abstract
This study proposes a method of body dynamics analysis for larval zebrafish incorporating a viscoelastic body model and a fluidic environment model to support the study of development mechanisms in motion generation. The results showed that the estimated fluid drag coefficients enabled the body dynamics model to approximate the paths of actual larvae with an error level of 0.76±0.74 [%] to the total body length.
