Fig. 1. The relationship between response latency following removal of the strut
flow refuge and the current speed at which fish entrained for bass (solid
squares) and bluegill (solid diamonds). Values are means ± 2
S.E.M.

Fig. 2. The mean maximum force of water jets impinging on circular discs of various
diameters from a distance of 10 or 20 mm as a function of the driving water
head. Variation was small and not distinguishable within the dimensions of the
symbols. The water heads for the various discs have been displaced along the
x-axis as shown in the key, in order to lend some clarity to the
otherwise overlapping data.
