Fig. 2. Observed kinematic variation of largemouth bass (red bars; N=4 fish, 6–10 trials per fish) and bluegill sunfish (blue bars; N=4 fish, 15 trials per fish) while striking on attached prey. The two species were significantly different in their time to peak gape (A, TTPG) and mouth displacement speeds (C) (repeated-measures ANOVA; P>0.05 for both) but strike initiation distance (B) and maximal gape diameter (D) did not differ significantly (repeated-measures ANOVA; P<0.1 for both).
