Sensory contributions to prey capture kinematics in largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides.

Jayne Gardiner

Sensory contributions to prey capture kinematics.  Largemouth bass are a classic example of a predominantly ram-feeding fish that is capable of modulating along the ram-suction continuum during prey capture.  I am examining the effect of sensory lesions on the kinematics of prey capture.
