Fig. 8. Scaling of peak flow speed and acceleration at
gape distance in
bluegill. Peak flow speed increases with size whereas the relationship between
acceleration and standard length is not statistically significant. Data are
mean values ± s.e.m. (blue circles) or maximal performance strikes (red
circles). N=9 fish, 7–30 strikes per fish. Slopes are for the
regression of log-transformed mean values and standard length.
