Archerfish Actively Control the Hydrodynamics of Their Jets Peggy Gerullis, Stefan Schuster  Current Biology  Volume 24, Issue 18, Pages 2156-2160 (September 2014) DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2014.07.059 Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Focus Distance and Instability of Archerfish Jets Are Not Fixed but Depend on Target Distance Trained archerfish allowed us to monitor several aspects of their jet production, from formation until impact, as they engaged targets (black dots) at 20 cm, 40 cm, or 60 cm height above water level. (A and B) Examples of jets fired at a target at 60 cm height. Although water has assembled at the tip before impact (B), this has not yet fully occurred after 30 cm of travel (A) (see also Figure S1). (C) Areas marked blue and red schematically indicate preimpact and en route phases of jets, respectively, shown in (D) and (E). (D) Examples (from 39 recordings) of preimpact jet tips (1 cm before impact) showing that water can be focused much earlier, depending on target height. Preimpact focusing is equally well at all height levels, and images of preimpact tip contain no information on how far the jet had traveled before (p = 0.98; χ2 test). (E) In addition to when the tip forms, stability of main shaft of jet differs, depending on target height. Examples of jets (from 83 recordings) observed after a common distance of 30 cm (schematically depicted at 30 cm height) contain information on target distance (p < 0.001; χ2 test).

Figure 2 Archerfish Adjust the Speed Gradient of Their Jets According to Target Height (A–C) Depiction of how speed at jet tip followed the general relation vtip(t) = vmax − Δv exp(−t/τ) (vmax, maximum speed; Δv, speed increment; τ, time constant) at each target height (20 cm, 40 cm, and 60 cm). Time course of tip speed during first 20 ms for shots fired by fish 2 is shown (see Figure S2 for fish 1). Points are averages of 41, 57, and 44 speed measurements (all fits in A–C, R2 > 0.99). (D) Speed increment Δv significantly increased when jets were launched toward higher targets (mean ± 5% confidence intervals for fish 1 [filled-in bar] and fish 2 [open bar]; all differences p < 0.001). (E and F) The time course of tip speed does not generally predict stability. Mimicking the archerfish’s pattern of increase in tip speed can lead to stable (E) or unstable (F) jets (see examples in insets).

Figure 3 Range Tuning of the Jets Involves Neither Chemical Control nor Active Motion (A) Viscosity (blue; 54 samples of shots, 18 control samples) and surface tension (red; 19 samples of shots, 14 control samples) measured in samples of the water fired and in controls (water) (boxplots: median, 25[75]% and 10[90]% quartiles). (B) No significant dependence of viscosity of shots on shear rate (R2 = 0.006; p = 0.85). Medians are determined from six samples and two water controls. (C) High-resolution analysis of the changes in position and orientation during release of shots aimed at targets at different distances. Contour plots for changes in position and orientation as the fish fires (at time zero) at targets at 60 cm (top) or 20 cm (bottom) height are shown. Plots show likelihood (scale as shown) of changes in position of mouth (“drift”; left) and in body orientation (right) after onset of the shot. The time during which movement of the fish could potentially influence the jet is indicated by vertical lines.

Figure 4 Archerfish Adjust the Dynamics of Mouth Opening and Closing to Target Height (A) Time from onset of jet until closure of mouth (mean ± SEM) for two trained fish (filled-in and open bars) systematically increased with target distance (see Table S2 for additional effects). (B) Other aspects of the opening and closing maneuver, such as duration of final part of closure, were independent of target height (p > 0.07 in both fish). (C) The actual time course of opening diameter as derived from recordings with 5,000 frames/s. Pattern is not simply a quick opening, followed by a stage in which the mouth remains open, and then a quick closure. Rather, width is continuously changing. Time set to zero when jet first becomes visible. Graphs report mean ± SEM of opening width (n = 16 jets, n = 30 jets, and n = 17 jets at heights of 20 cm, 40 cm, and 60 cm, respectively) every 1 ms. Graphs are displaced vertically for clarity; maximum mouth opening is the same for all traces.
