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 ...
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 ...
