Fig. 7. Log-log plots of maximal peak negative buccal pressure (A) and maximal
average buccal pressure (B) versus cranial length. These buccal
pressures are averaged over the entire buccal cavity (from mouth aperture to
pectoral fin) and were calculated with hydrodynamic models
(Drost and van den Boogaert,
1986; Muller et al.,
1982). Note that no significant changes were found for these
pressures in relation to cranial size.
