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)].
