WTBE and COROLLA: BURST SWIMMING OF NORTHERN ANCHOVY 



Finally, it should be noted that improvements in 

 plankton nets and catch techniques would shift 

 the position of the curves in Figure 6. This would 

 require different normalization points in evaluat- 

 ing effects of performance on escape probability, 

 taking into account the new point at which larvae 

 out-swim the net. However, such changes would 

 not alter the nature of the arguments nor the con- 

 clusions concerning the importance of swimming 

 performance in determining escape probability. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



This work was completed while P W. Webb was a 

 NRC/NOAA Research Associate on leave from the 

 University of Michigan. The Schlieren system 

 was built by J. H. Taylor with partial support from 

 a grant from the National Science Foundation 

 (Grant No. DES75-04863) to R. Lasker and J. H. 

 Taylor. We thank J. R. Hunter, R. Lasker, R E. 

 Smith, D. Weihs, and R. C. Eaton for their helpful 

 comments on the manuscript, and J. H. Taylor for 

 his assistance and patience as we learned to use 

 the Schlieren apparatus.
