Figure 3


Fig. 3. The magnitude of peak force exerted on attached prey by largemouth bass (red bars; N=4 fish, 6–10 trials per fish; total N=33) and bluegill sunfish (blue bars; N=4 fish, 15 trials per fish; total N=60). The force measured for bluegill (0.16±0.017 N); was much higher than the force measured for bass (0.03±0.003 N; repeated-measures ANOVA, P<0.001). The difference in force was partly because bluegill's strike had, on average, twofold faster flow speeds and accelerations [estimated based on the relationship between TTPG and flow speed (Higham et al., 2006)].
