Fig. 8. Average maximum curvature of individual fin rays. Average maximum curvature
was calculated as the average of the three maximum curvature values for each
ray. Data are taken from a single fish. Individual rays are plotted on the
x-axis with ray 1 being the most anterior along the fin; rays
27 are located posteriorly in order. Each graph represents a single
swimming speed or maneuver at the point of maximum excursion. Seven rays were
analyzed from the dorsal fin (A) and nine rays from the anal fin (B).
