Multidimensional analysis of suction feeding performance in fishes: Fluid speed, acceleration, strike accuracy and the ingested volume of water
(The Company of Biologists, 2006-05-03)Suction feeding fish draw prey into the mouth using a flow field that they generate external to the head. In this paper we present a multidimensional perspective on suction feeding performance that we illustrate in ... -
Timing is everything: Coordination of strike kinematics affects the force exerted by suction feeding fish on attached prey
(Journal of Experimental BiologyCompany of Biologists, 2007-07-17)During aquatic suction feeding, the predator opens its mouth and rapidly expands its buccal cavity, generating a flow field external to the mouth. The rapid expansion of the buccal cavity produces high fluid velocities ...
