Figure 12


Fig. 12. Comparison of (A) a predictive start with (B) an escape C-start. Both starts involved similar turns and were imaged at 500 frames s-1; every second frame is shown. Color of background behind fish silhouettes highlights initial bending phase (stage 1; dark blue) and propulsive phase (stage 2; light blue). An analysis of the predictive start (A) is reported in Figs 4 and 5. Take-off speed was 1.015 m s-1 (A) and 0.595 m s-1 (B) and turn size was 82.1° (A) and 99.7° (B).
