Abstract
A number of species of negatively buoyant zooplankton perform a swimming behavior characterized by a repeated upward swimming followed by passive sinking. This hop and sink behavior is shown theoretically to save energy relative to continuous swimming at a fixed depth. The maximum energy saving is a function of the drag ratio and speeds of swimming and sinking.
