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).
