...Steven J. Cooke; David P. Philipp SUMMARY In this study, the cardiovascular response to exhaustive exercise among differentiated stocks of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides was compared at 10°C and 20°C to assess the level of their local adaptation. In addition, the impact that interstock...

...Andrew M. Carroll SUMMARY Activation and strain in the sternohyoideus (SH) were measured in vivo in five largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides . The SH is thought to actuate lower jaw depression, hyoid depression and suspensorial abduction during suction feeding in teleost fish. Sonomicrometry...

... Micropterus salmoides , we adopted a new technique for studying kinematics, sonomicrometry, to transduce the movement of skeletal elements of the head during feeding, and synchronized pressure recordings at a sampling rate of 500 Hz. From the positional relationships of six piezoelectric crystals we monitored...

...Tierney M. Thys; Jason M. Blank; David J. Coughlin; Fred Schachat SUMMARY The present study investigates muscle protein expression in largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides through intra- and intermyomeric comparisons of white muscle. Using denaturing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, muscle...

... ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ), electromyographic (EMG) and sonomicrometry recordings were made of muscle activity in vivo . These data were used in in vitro work-loop studies of muscle power production. Data on in vitro power production were also collected for largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ) red muscle from...

... of T o and T c in three centrarchid fishes. Video recordings (200 and 400 images s −1 ) were made of prey capture in largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides (33–206 mm standard length, SL ), spotted sunfish Lepomis punctatus (24–145 mm SL ) and bluegill sunfish Lepomis macrochirus (24–220 mm SL...

...Tierney Thys ABSTRACT Epaxial muscle activity during prey strike was measured in two discrete myomeric regions of the largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides to test whether (1) the extreme dorsal region of the epaxial muscle (the epaxial arm region) plays a larger role in prey strike than the region...

... swimming movements, we have been quantifying morphology and conducting a series of experiments on two closely related subcarangiform swimmers, the largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and the bluegill sunfish Lepomis macrochirus ( Jayne and Lauder, 1993 , 1994 a,b , 1995 a,b ). Both of these species...

... into recruitment patterns in the deep myomeric musculature of fish, we implanted a series of fine-wire electrodes arranged in a vertical row of six electrodes and a longitudinal row of three electrodes on both the left and right sides of each of five largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ). After recording...

...Barton A. Richard; Peter C. Wainwright ABSTRACT We present the first analysis of scaling effects on prey capture kinematics of a feeding vertebrate. The scaling of feeding kinematics of largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ) was investigated using high-speed video (200 fields s 1) to determine...

... cycle of Micropterus salmoides , it is possible that increased stiffness of caudal structures may facilitate the maintenance of positive angles of attack throughout the tail-beat cycle. Additional factors affecting trailing edge orientation and angle of attack are the orientation and mechanical...

...Stephen F. Norton; Elizabeth L. Brainerd ABSTRACT We examined the hypothesis that fish species with similar ecomorphological patterns, but from different taxonomic groups, would use similar feeding modes. We contrasted the feeding behavior of Micropterus salmoides (Lacépède) (Centrarchidae...

... ( Micropterus salmoides Lacépède) are North American sunfishes that inhabit ponds, lakes and slow streams. Both species have diverse diets, including invertebrates and fishes ( Carlander, 1977 ). These species and their congeners are active during the day; at night in field and laboratory they lie near...
