Fig. 4. Mean profiles of scaled fluid speed along the centerline transect for each
of the nine individuals (broken red lines), in addition to a polynomial fit
for the pooled data set (blue line). The deviations of individual profiles
from the mean profile (averaged over all individuals) were small (average
residual=3% of the speed at 
gape±0.7%) and not significantly
correlated with size. Scaled fluid speed is fluid speed relative to flow speed
at gape distance from the mouth, whereas scaled distance is the
distance in gape diameters.
