"Recent studies performed at Florida State University identified a clear
relationship between strike speed and fish size in several species of
freshwater fish, Basically, the mechanics of prey capture is similar
among fish species. Most fish use a combination of ram and suction
feeding behaviors. The ram feeding phase relies on the forward motion of
body and jaws to overtake and capture prey. The suction-feeding phase
begins as a fish approaches its prey. A negative pressure gradient is
generated inside the fish's mouth as it's opened, causing prey fish,
zooplankton, or bottom-dwelling invertebrates to be vacuumed in."
