That size has a major effect on the function of organisms has long been known. Yet, few studies have examined the effects of size on the jaw movements of fish during prey capture. Knowing how size effects movements is essential in comparative studies where often animals of different sizes are compared. As feeding movements in fish are complex and rapid phenomena, these will be examined using high-speed cineradiographic techniques.
