... Kinematics Larval fish Swimming performance The fast start is an important manoeuvre in the motion repertoire of many fish species across developmental stages ( Domenici and Blake, 1997 ; Hale et al., 2002 ). Fast starts are commonly divided into two types by the shape changes of the fish during...

...-sensing systems and control of food intake have never been evaluated in early life stages, despite the importance of establishing when appetite regulation becomes functional in larval fish. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the possible effects of different specific FAs on neural FA-sensing systems...

...Sarit Yaniv; David Elad; Roi Holzman Suction feeding is thought to be the primary mode of prey capture in most larval fishes. Similar to adult suction feeders, larvae swim towards their prey while rapidly expanding their mouth cavity to generate an inward flow of water that draws the prey...

...Yukinori Mukai; Hiromasa Yoshikawa; Hiroshi Kobayashi ABSTRACT Free mechanosensory neuromasts of larval fishes have been described as playing a complementary role to vision in feeding behaviour ( Disler, 1971 ; Iwai, 1972 a , b ). In certain species or under limited conditions, free neuromasts play...
