The Pressures of suction feeding: The Relation between buccal pressure and induced fluid speed in centrarchid fishes
(The Company of Biologists, 2006-06-14)
Suction feeding fish rapidly expand their oral cavity,
resulting in a flow of water directed towards the mouth
that is accompanied by a drop in pressure inside the
buccal cavity. Pressure inside the mouth and fluid ...
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 ...
