## Abstract The kinematics of prey capture in blackchin tilapia (__Sarotherodon melanotheron__) subjected to three experimental treatments (control, anesthetization, and opercular linkage disruption) were analyzed using high‐speed video to explore the role of the opercular four‐bar linkage in depre

We examined feeding by larval weakfish, Cynoscion regalis (Bloch and Schneider), in laboratory experiments conducted during the 1991 spawning season. Under natural conditions weakfish larval development is ca. 3 wk, and we ran separate experiments with larvae of five different ages (5, 8, 11, 14, an
## Abstract The ability to modulate prey capture behaviors is of interest to organismal biologists as it suggests that predators can perceive features of the prey and select suitable behaviors from an available repertoire to successfully capture the item. Thus, behavior may be as important a trait
