Fast-start

Fast-start er korte pludselige accelerationer hos fisk.^[1] Fast starts benyttes ved predator-prey interaktioner. Fast starts inddeles i c-start hvor kroppen bøjes i et c og s-start hvor kroppen bøjes i et s. Fast starts sker hurtigere end det menneskelige øje kan registrere og reaktioner på 6 ms er målt hos for eksempel zebrafisken.

Via mekanisk modellering er det blevet målt at nogle fisk under fast-start accelerationen, accelererer med op til 40 m/s² eller ca. 4 G.^[2]

The fish beam placed in the 23 cm curvature has about 3.8 J of energy, and an error of 1 cm in either direction does not change the stored energy dramatically: a curvature of 22 cm corresponds to 3.5 J of stored energy and a curvature of 24 cm, to 4.2 J. When released, the model accelerates to a mean velocity of around 1.2 m s−1. The energy transferred to kinetic energy is thus approximately 0.4 J, and the efficiency is approximately 10%. The fast-start efficiency for live fish, as noted previously, is in the range of 16–39%..."
