Fig. 4. Representative data record (for FB 155). The three lines represent the
different fin positions. Con, a position at the center of the fin
directly over a superficial vein; Don, a position at the distal tip
of the fin directly over a superficial vein; Coff, a position at
the center of the fin away from superficial veins. The data streams begin
recording with the dorsal fin in air. At fin submergence, all three heat flux
values increase, while skin temperature values simultaneously drop. The two
areas between the vertical dotted lines represent the 2 min segments of the
record analyzed.
