Wake power coefficients for three different fishes swimming at a range of speeds. Relative to their body size, eels waste the smallest amount of energy producing a wake, while bluegill sunfish waste much more energy. Wakes of trout contain relatively little energy, but only at the highest swimming speed. Modified from Tytell (2007).
