From: Red muscle activity in bluegill sunfish Lepomis macrochirus during forward accelerations
Bluegill sunfish (N = 5) altered swimming kinematics as acceleration increased. The plots show the relationship of acceleration and swimming speed with (A) tail beat frequency, (B) body wave speed, (C) head amplitude, (D) tail amplitude, (E) body wavelength, and (F) maximum muscle strain. Colour indicates the flow tank speed. Acceleration groups labelled with different numbers are significantly different from one another (p < 0.01). See Table S1 for statistical results.
