本文介绍了运动的喷流推进，从测量室的压力，静态推力和肌电图活动的组合，自由游泳和拴系的输卵管的运动学记录。从这些测量中，可以估计出单个的囊状物和由一系列相连的个体所施加的推力、所产生的阻力以及所做的工作。它的结论是，salp喷射推进是一个更经济的过程比喷射推进在其他动物。
This paper describes the locomotion of salps by jet propulsion, from a combination of measurements of chamber pressures, static thrust, and electromyographic activity, with kinematic records of free-swimming and tethered salps. From such measurements, estimates are made of the thrust exerted, the drag incurred, and the work performed by single salps, and by chains of linked individuals. It is concluded that salp jet propulsion is a more economical process than is jet propulsion in other animals.
