Fig. 3. Thermal plasticity of fast-start behaviour in various fish species. The
figure illustrates maximum length-specific speed during escape responses in
fish acclimated to different temperatures in (A) goldfish Carassius
auratus, N=10, (B) killifish Fundulus heteroclitus, N=5, (C)
long-spined sea scorpion Taurulus bubalis, N=7, and (D) short-horn
sculpin Myoxocephalus scorpius, N=9. Arrows indicate the direction of
the acclimation response at a specified test temperature; the horizontal line
(in D) indicates no change. Values are means ± S.E.M. See original
publications for experimental details. The data are adapted from Johnson and
Bennett (1995) and Temple and
Johnston (1998). L,
total body length.
