A biomechanical paradox in fish: swimming and suction feeding produce orthogonal strain gradients in the axial musculature

The axial musculature of fishes has historically been characterized as the powerhouse for explosive swimming behaviors. However, recent studies show that some fish also use their ‘swimming’ muscles to generate over 90% of the power for suction feeding. Can the axial musculature achieve high power ou...
