New study finds marine animals save energy by swimming in a depth 'sweet spot' Researchers from Swansea and Deakin Universities have found that marine animals across mammals, birds and reptiles swim at similar relative depths when travelling and not feeding to save energy.

All travelled at around three body depths from the surface in order to swim in the 'sweetspot' that minimises wave formation at the surface and vertical distance travelled.
