... behavioral characteristic (boldness) impact the likelihood of an individual being captured by anglers. Largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides , derived from a population artificially selected for differential angling vulnerability were assessed for boldness and for stress responsiveness (as indicated...

...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...

... level it is clear that the expansion of the buccal cavity is responsible for the drop in pressure. However, attempts using high-speed video recordings to demonstrate a tight link between prey capture kinematics and suction pressure have met with limited success. In a study with largemouth bass...

...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...
