Lo indicates muscle length when the midline is straight. Site indicates the longitudinal positions as described in Table 1. Body width and centrum length values are means ± s.e.m. for four individuals
Reynolds numbers; Re=UL/v, where U is swimming speed, L is total length of the fish, and v is kinematic viscosity
