... vertebral column with XROMM and muscle shortening in 14 epaxial subregions with fluoromicrometry during feeding in rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ). We compared measured strain to the predicted strain based on beam theory's curvature-strain relationship. Trout flexed the vertebrae dorsally...

... and sternohyoid muscles during suction feeding using fluoromicrometry ( Camp et al., 2016 ). Muscle shortening and post-mortem muscle mass were used to determine the roles and relative contributions of these muscles to suction power. These data allowed us to test whether royal knifefish (1) have relatively large...

... to quantify the contractile characteristics of four hyoid muscles during a swallow using synchronized electromyography, fluoromicrometry and high-speed biplanar videofluoroscopy. We also estimated muscle line of action during a swallow using contrast-enhanced CT-scanned muscles animated to move with the hyoid...

...: Although the sternohyoideus muscle shortens to generate small amounts of power, bluegill sunfish require large regions of axial musculature – operating at or near maximum power output – to power suction feeding. XROMM Fluoromicrometry Muscle work Muscle power Shortening velocity Fish can...
